To the Zoo
On Thursday we got up early and headed to the National Zoo. We got there around 8:30 and many of the animals were taking advantage of the cooler morning weather to be active. We were able to see things that we don't usually get to see, like the hippo out of the water, an Orang crossing the O-line (video) and a tiger wandering about.
We, of course, stopped to see the panda's and take a gaze at the cub and took pictures of many of the animals.
The buildings don't open until 10, but a few of them had opened early. It was a nice treat to be able to roam the buildings before they got crowded.
At 10:30, we made our way back to the elephants to see their bath and training (video) that followed. Then we were ready to go, but Kevin requested seeing the sea lion feeding so we made a trek down to them, then were on our way.
We were home by 12:30, but should have left after the elephant training, the extra walk up the hill wasn't good for anyone.
