Lord, I need a nap.

Mrs Rabinowitz and I took our three year old grandson on a 45 minute ride on the DART Dallas light rail to the Dallas zoo.

We spent several hours looking at the big animals

Then we retraced our trip on Got home.

All told from loading him in the car, getting to the money pit public transportation, walking miles in the zoo, and getting back home was 6 hours of toddler magic.

He’s still a blowing and a growing.

Me? I need a nap.
