First trip to the DC Zoo

I feel like I should take advantage of being a Washingtonian. I haven't - until I finally decided to take a mini break end of last month to take kiddos to the zoo. It had been a year since I last said I would take them, so when I finally did, it made me feel better. However, there are a ton of museums I should look into and well, I promised myself I will explore one by one with my little pals.

The zoo trip wasn't planned, it was a random Sunday that we weren't busy so I proposed TT in taking the kids out and he agreed. So we hopped onto the metro, kiddos' first metro ride. TT decided to get off at Cleveland Park stop so the walk would be downhill instead of the Woodley Park stop which is uphill (which we took to go back). Even with that decision, when we got off of the station we had to walk what seemed at the time a really long walk, partly because walking anywhere more than 2 blocks with 2 kids seemed longer than it really was. After like 10 minutes of walking, the kids said their legs are getting tired and we didn't even get to the zoo yet! We convinced them we'll soon see tigers and lions which kept them excited and continued our stroll. While at the zoo, we got busy carrying them so we only took a few photos.


Here are a few photos as we took 'walking breaks' from the metro station to the zoo! How hilarious is that.

While waiting for the crossing light, we took the following series and yes people in the car waiting for the lights were watching and smiling at them being themselves:

We didn't bring a stroller, so when TT isn't behind the lens, TT is their stroller.

Note: Yes, I have released the new look and feel of the website/blog and have been doing a little testing. I'll announce that again b/c I want to dedicate that blog post by itself. So stay tuned.
