Wonder Boy claims that my specialty in gift giving is with experiential gifts. Get your mind out of the gutter! It’s a totally PG type of gift to give. A while back I got him a Segway tour and that was a hit. I’m always on the lookout for classes, tours, speaking events, etc. For our anniversary this year, I outdid myself. Well, I think so.
This past weekend, Wonder Boy and I took a backstage tour of the Reptile House at the Cincinnati Zoo. Awesome! We (and by we I mean Wonder Boy) got to hold snakes, we (me too!) got to pet turtles and lizards. I stood only 2-3 feet away from a rattlesnake while it rattled away. It was amazing!

| We both got to hold these turtles. Their legs were so strong, which was in complete contrast to how soft the skin on their necks was. |

| I could have chosen to do this… but no thank you. |
 |
| A nightmare in a box. This container was filled with gross worm-y things for lizards to eat and the entire contents of it never stopped moving. Blech! |

| This is one of the rattlesnakes we saw up close. |
We both thought the tour was so awesome that we are now members of the Zoo. That way we can get deals on other tours, because I can assure you that we’ll be going on many more.
