Weekend Get-a-Way

We decided to spend this fourth of July on the east coast of Italy in a little town called Bari. I had never heard of Bari before I moved to Italy. In fact when I tried to plan the trip there was very little information to be had about Bari on the internet or in my travel books. So you may be wondering why we chose to spend our precious little vacation time in such an obscure place. Well, our reasoning can be summed up in two (or is it three) little words- The ZooSafari! Though we found lots of other cool things to do (see the pictures below) our experience at the ZooSafari was by far one of the coolest things we have ever done (at least as far as animals are concerned). Okay well enough from me I will let the pictures do the talking.

Truli Houses
These little houses are a cross between something I imagine a smurf and a hobbit living in. They are a little strange but very impressive.


Our "Hotel"
I always forget to take a picture of the inside of our European hotel rooms. It never ceases to make me laugh. They are horrifically decorated- this one was no different.


The Dolphin Show
We got front row seats for the dolphin show and it was SO impressive. Honestly- dolphins are incredibly smart and powerful animals. It was one of my favorite parts of the day.


Roller Coasters
We have officially entered the roller coaster age at our house. I kept trying to get the boys to go on the Ferris Wheel and the Merry-go-Round but they just wouldn't have it. It was especially fun at this park because there were NO lines- literally. Each time they road they were the only ones on the ride. It was actually kind of weird.

The ZooSafari
We had so much fun feeding the animals that I forgot to take pictures until the very end. This is a video of Robert and the boys feeding the Camels. It was so fun. I am not sure why but there is no sound on this viedo but don't worry Ross is not really as scared as he looks. He was laughing... really he was!
