I live in southeast Michigan. I've vacationed in Ohio as a child and an adult with my son. Cedar Point is the number one amusement park, but years ago, Ohio had several amusement and theme parks. It's sad to see them go. The African Safari Park is still there. You stay in your card and drive around. The animals come right to your car and you can feed them. I remember the giraffe the most. We had a sun roof that was closed, but one looked at us from above. It was really cool.

Great card, I love giraffes too, in fact I fed one at a local animal preserve this past Sunday, and in coming weeks my husband and I are gong to visit April the giraffe and her family, the famous giraffe who gave birth to baby Tajiri last year, I can't wait! Tajiri is over 10 feet tall now! Love the giraffe standing behind and above, good job!

Fun card, Jen! I love how you used the memory of the giraffe peeking in the sunroof and have the giraffe peeking over the top of the panel. I remember going through a driver through safari at Six Flags New Jersey when I was a kid. It was so cool, but the monkeys pooped all over my dad's car!

That park you've depicted would have been one I'd love! We traveled to OH to Sea World and Cedar Point when our daughter was growing up, but I guess we didn't know about the wild animal park :( I love this little explorer with the cute giraffe peeking in!
