Franklin Park Zoo
Compared to the Denver Zoo, this place was a ghost town! Also, much, much shadier. The best part? Feeding the Finches at the Aussie Aviary
And this really cool carousel and park.![]()
Look closely and you will see our animal siblings rode the carousel with us.![]()
The zoo also brought with it a special adoption. Meet Johnny, the Pygmy Hippo. Blake told the story of his adoption. It went something like this, “ Johnny woke up today hoping it would be the day when someone would take him home. I walked into the store and picked him up off the shelf. And that’s the end of the story!”
Later that evening we picnicked at the Esplanade ![]()

And enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the Charles, and some striking night time views of Boston as we scootered home over the Harvard Bridge.
Today we took a respectable 26,269 steps.
