chicagoland!

I'm headed to Chicago this weekend for one of my bff's Bachelorette party. I can't wait to bring her and friends to the zoo! My friend Angie is one of the zoo keepers at Lincoln Park Zoo and has graciously invited us to take a behind the scenes tour tomorrow!! If I do get to see this cat I might just have to take him back to Brooklyn with me. Photos to come after the weekend's festivities.
