Today's deal ~ Woodland Park Zoo

Today I got 2 tickets to the zoo through Groupon for $6 each. Doesn't seem like much of a deal but for some reason I just don't enjoy going to the zoo. I'm hoping this will help me get over my memories of working there as a teenager and the cotton candy sticking my eyelashes and arm hairs together, of the 5 gallon bucket of butter flavored oil we made popcorn with, of the snow cone machine that I would be stationed at in Siberia and left to bake in the sun with the yellow jackets. And the smell of the flamingos and penguins and the zoo doo. I do have some good memories of working there, some fun times were had, but more than anything I got my fill of exotic zoo animals years ago but don't want the kid to miss out because of it. Maybe these coupons will be enough to motivate me to make the trip and maybe even buy him some cotton candy.
