Yesterday was zoo day. We took the metro down to the national zoo in DC. The kids all looked forward to riding on the metro. It is not too bad of a walk to the zoo from the metro station, but it sure seems far when you go back to it after walking all over the zoo. There were some new exinits that I had never seen before, and quite a few closed exhibits. The new elephant trail, looks like it will be interesting. The amazonia exhibit is pretty interesting. It looked like underwater dinosaurs in the aquarium. Also, it seems like the exhibits close early. We did not get to see the big cats, because they were put away at 4. We had fun with Christy’s brother and his family. They were in town from Delaware. They go to the zoo a lot more often than we do and knew where all the exhibits are. We still owe his kids some Cold Stone ice cream.
