Adam and I have discovered a new cure to hangovers. And it has nothing to do with consuming lots of water or gatorade, or popping handfuls of advil like tic tacs (although that helps)
It's going to the ZOO!
Yesterday morning, we were driving back to Boston, tired and hungover from a night at the Raddison in Manchester, NH where we partied the previous afternoon/night in celebration of Adam's 26th birthday. A short while after we passed the Massachusetts border, we saw a sign for the Stone Zoo along the side of the highway, underneath which was advertised "JAGUAR CUBS!".
Jaguar cubs?! Suddenly I felt absolutely compelled to see them myself. And Adam, equally random as I am, was equally suddenly determined to see them too so to Stoneham we headed to take in some Zoo action.
Even though it is a relatively small zoo, there is still LOTS to see, including flamingos, wolves, monkeys, bald eagles, lions, etc (all of which you can see here.) But I could not be satisfied until we saw the aforementioned Jaguar Cubs.
And so we did. And they were even kind enough to play out a little family drama for the appreciative crowd. Allow me to narrate.
Two cubs, chillin'.
Then this other little guy is like "I'm bored!"
"Mom! I'm boooored!"
"Son, get the hell away from me!I'm trying to get some sleep!!!"
"I SAID AWAY!"
"Frigging kids"
All in all, a fabulous time was have and by the time we had made our way around the whole zoo, we had forgotten all about hangovers and tiredness. It only takes about 1 and 1/2 hours to see the whole thing, and it was really a lovely way to spend the afternoon.
Also, I want a Jaguar cub.
