  2. This was a great trip! The tram at the Botanical Garden was fun and we toured around the garden. The rose garden was gorgeous!Saw lots of roses. The zoo was fun too! We saw monkeys and they were so cute and tiny! Madagascar had this beetle exhibit and you had to go into this chamber which was scary seeing beetles everywhere!Had lots of fun in the trips and it was a great way to wend the school year!!! Hoping to do it next year!!!!!
