National Zoo

Yesterday we spent the day at the National Zoo. It was a hotter day than expected, but we made it through almost all of the zoo. Most of the animals were pretty inactive because of the heat (can you blame them?) but we still got to see a wide variety of creatures, from the traditional lions, tigers, and bears, to aquatic life such as a large octopus, to small mammals, snakes, and lizards. Of course we also saw the Zoo’s main attraction, the two giant pandas on loan from China for 10 years, and their two year old son. It was nice to get out, see something new, and take some pictures for the day.
