After visiting the zoo with my kids in August, I realized how much I enjoyed being there, and wondered if walking the grounds during regular visits could be a way to supplement my exercise efforts.
I went to the zoo and purchased a household membership (in case one of my kids or my husband want to join me once in awhile), so I could make frequent visits.
I didn't have my camera with me, but I did grab a quick photo of the snow monkeys to share with my daughter, since they seemed like they were up to mischief.
Since I was focusing on the walking, I started wondering how far you walk when you make a complete trip around the zoo. While sitting in the eating area, I thought about bringing a pedometer the next I visited, but then thought there's probably an app I could use. After downloading Runtastic pedometer, I re-walked the Northern trail and the Grizzly Coast (but skipped the farm) to test it out. My new app thought I took 2363 steps to cover a little more than a mile.
On that visit I also found information about the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch app and downloaded that.
