August 24, 1967: The Zoo

Diary entry for August 24, 1967:


Drove to Penney's and bought presents for Wayne and Tracey. David Wayne and I ate lunch at a Woolworth 5 cent and 10 cent store. Then we spent rest of day at the zoo. We really enjoyed the reptile house. It was very hot.

The people Mom was buying presents for were her older brother Wayne and my only cousin at the time, Tracey, who is on my father's side of the family. They both had birthdays coming up.

I suppose a close equivalent of the nickel and dime stores from the 60s and 70s is the dollar stores we have now.

Hopefully we'll hear more about our trip to the zoo. I really liked reptiles, didn't I?
