Support our Nation’s Zoos!

Dread going back to school? Try going back to an old Schoolhouse turned B&B!

This is a new concept that I just came across on USA Today – the schoolhouse transformed to a Bed & Breakfast. Cute, right? Apparently, they’ve sprung up all over the country and provide quaint and comfortable accommodations for couples and families.
