The zoo has 2 entrances, one at the top of the hill and one at the bottom of the hill. When we reached the bottom of the hill we figured we would leave through this entrance and call a Lyft from there. Somehow the Lyft software Messed up and 5 consecutive Lyft rides canceled on us. It was almost 45 minutes until we got in a car. That made it hard to go back to the house so we went to our dinner place instead. We were a full hour early so we took a stroll around the neighborhood and stopped in at a fun little bar, Lucy. We ordered the Pickle Plate and the Olive Plate and a fancy mocktail for Gavin. Then we went to the owl and rooster for our dinner which was most excellent. They have a James Beard award and a Michelin star. Gavin looked so fancy that he was the hit with all the servers
