Exploring Columbus, Family Visit, Pesach

Happy Pesach and Happy Easter to everyone. This past week, mom and dad drove to Ohio to stay with us for a few days. This was their first trip to Ohio, and I think they enjoyed themselves. We went to the Franklin Conservatory, Topiary Gardens, and the Columbus Zoo. Columbus has so many interesting things to see. We had two really great seders with Columbus friends. Unfortunately we don't have plates and silverware for Pesach so we are using paper and plastic (we couldn't fit my box of dishes, silverware, and cookware in my tiny car to go to Ohio). Maybe next year in Baltimore, which by the way we got an apartment. We move in late June. Here are some pics from this week.

Franklin conservatory...I love the cherry blossoms

Colo was the first gorilla born in captivity in 1955 @ the Columbus Zoo and the oldest gorilla living in a zoo in the world. We also saw many of her offsprings

I guess turtles like Caesar salad
