Day Trip to DC

So after living in Virginia for 8 months we finally took a day trip to DC. We chose to go to the zoo and the museum of natural history, assuming those were the 2 things that would keep the kids entertained. Of course, we took tons of pictures. We finished the day at Good Stuff Eatery and had some delicious burgers and fries.

The Big Cats...always fun to see!





We're all staring at the lion here.






Adeline loved watching these snake turtles! After a few minutes of watching them slither through the water, I decided they are pretty creepy.


It was cool watching the orangutans cross these wires. This picture just makes it look nasty.


Here's a better shot.











When I was in kindergarten our class took a field trip to this zoo and we learned all about panda bears and even made panda bear shaped cookies. Pandas have been my favorite animals ever since, so I was excited to see them. It was pretty tricky to get a picture of me with the panda, he just didn't want to stop and pose for us.






If you look closely, you can see the cheetahs in the background of this photo.


It is hard to get a posed shot of Adeline these days. Here are our attempts to get her in front of the great white shark mouth. They get slightly scandalous at the end!











I look forward to coming back to the museums sometime without children so I can actually read about the things that I'm looking at.


Adeline's favorite thing was this rock because she was allowed to touch it and it was right at her height.
