To the Zoo, To the Zoo!

On Father's Day we ventured, for the first time, to the National Zoo in D.C. It was a really great day, started off by finding free parking on the street just 2 blocks from the zoo entrance! And with the zoo itself being free and bringing our own lunches we made out pretty well that day...except for the "Father's Day $5 ice cream," the "Father's Day $4 pretzel," and the "Father's Day $4 soda." We met our friends from Son of David, Jessica and David, and their kids Sophia and Zack, who are just about 1/2 a year older than our kids. It was just such a great day. And I say this again because some long days with kids just don't go very well. We were at the zoo past nap time and then the kids fell asleep in the car pretty quick, so we decided to explore the area with the car so that we know what we're talking about when people come to visit and we want to bring them to cool places in the D.C. area. We drove through Georgetown, Bethesda, and Potomac (where there are gigantic houses), and we rounded out the day eating at California Pizza Kitchen (another Father's Day splurge) and walking around the shops and pond at The Rio. Hurray! for a great day!
