Here in Albuquerque they have a train that connects the Zoo to the Botanic Garden/Aquarium. The whole thing is called the Biopark It makes for a Grand Day Out, as Wallace and Grommit would say. We met our friends the Cochrans at the Zoo in the morning. After a thorough walk through the zoo, lunch, and some playground time, we took the train over to the Gardens. Of speical note were the miniature train gardens and Children's Fantasy Gardens. Note the pictures with the giant pumpkin, dragon, castle, and big vegetables. The kids decided they would like to live in it. Then we visited the Aquarium where Oliver hoped to find a squid. The only squid we found was a small one in the gift shop, but a good time was had by all.
