哥倫布市的一家人完成了一趟52週的全國動物園之旅。10號頻道電視台的新聞報導，塔維安諾一家人週六造訪哥倫布動物園暨水族館，完成最後一站。

The family visited 52 zoos in as many weeks.

這個家庭在52週裡造訪了52座動物園。

瑪拉．塔維安諾說，她丈夫與3個女兒利用週末開著車造訪不同的動物園。她說，這個主意始於想要省錢看世界這個簡單的慾望。

"I wanted to go on an adventure," she said. "I want to travel the world, but it’s kind of hard to do if you don’t have a lot of money."

「我想冒險」，她說。「我想遊遍世界，但你若沒有很多錢，這可難了。」

Taviano said the idea to travel to zoos just kind of popped in her head. "We could go to zoos around the country （and） see the animals that are from these other countries without having to go there," she said.

塔維安諾說，造訪動物園的構想就這樣乍現腦海。「我們可以去全國各地的動物園，不必出國也能看來自其他國家的動物」，她說。

塔維安諾說，她打算寫一本關於他們這一家人2萬2千英里旅程的書。
