I get the impression that zoos are a summer thing related to vacation and travel. We’re spoiled, living near the National Zoo, so we prefer weekend visits in the fall when it’s cooler and all of you tourists go home. Plus the National Zoo is free, so it doesn’t have the feel of an excursion where you shell out a hundred bucks so that everyone can have some fun because we’re ON VACATION DAMMIT!
Actually, you know when we would be an ideal time to visit the National Zoo? The weekend of October 17th. Think about it. You could pay money to go to another zoo or museum in your area. Or you could spend that same money on a hotel room and the spouse can take the kids to the zoo for free while you meet some of your favorite blogging folks in person at the KidLitosphere Conference. That sounds like a plan, right?

Nice segue, Pam.
I was scheduled to speak at another conference before the dates for the Kidlitosphere one was announced. I am inconsolable over the whole thing. The conference I will be going to is fine, but it's no Kidlitosphere.
Seamless transition, Pam! Can we take a copy of Wild About Books with us?
