National Zoo

I was so happy that we had two days to see the sights in Washington DC. We were entertained from the beginning when we saw a organatan climbing on these large wires as we entered an although it sounds disgusting, he pooped and it splattered everywhere. Although the zoo is free, if there is something they can charge for, they do.

Emily HATES bugs. Allan teases her all the time saying, "I've got a mosquito or a fly" and she runs. The Nataional Zoo had this great display of different kinds of beetles.

Richard started a new job but was able to negotiate two extra days to spend with us. We loved having him come along since I haven't seen him in years. The kids loved having him along as well.

The Amazon was a great display. A favorite had to be the flamingos.

The petting zoo was a hit. All of kids loved petting the goats and brushing them.

Rachel LOVED the zoo. She loved the monkeys and fish and especially the petting zoo.

Richard, my youngest brother, joined us and my kids LOVED having him around. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule for us!
