Our DC trip Part 6

Good morning:)  This morning is turning into a busy one as I multi task.   I have a load of clothes in the washing machine, am bagging up cupcakes to put in the freezer while we are gone- that I never had a chance to frost- sorry Nathan and writing this blog post all while packing. 

So excited, today is the day we are leaving for our in laws.  We get to spend a weekend with my in laws, sister in laws and their families.  It is always great seeing everyone- we always have a blast.

I wanted to write this blog post about our 6th day of our trip before we left today.  So, here goes:

Since the 4th of July was so jammed packed, some wanted to stay at the hotel and rest.  But we wanted to make the most of our trip and our Metro passes, which we thought was a 7 day pass- well, it actually was a 7 day pass but we missed the part where it said 7 consecutive day.  And since the 7 day passes are not cheap, we figured we should get our moneys worth.  So, we decided to go to the zoo.

The little ones love the zoo- they love the animals.  This summer for our summer homeschool trial, Kevin and Nathan were asked to pick and research an animal for our trip.  Nathan picked a cheetah and Kevin picked a Galapagos Tortoise until he found out the library didn't carry many books at all on Galapagos Tortoises.  He decided to change his animal to the Tiger- much more info at the library.  We also found out that little Michael loves pandas.

Here are some highlights from the zoo:

There was so much to see and do at the zoo.  We left the zoo later than we wanted to but we got to see and do all the zoo had to offer.  A few of the exhibits are closed for renovations, so we will definitely have to go back when they get everything fixed and renovated:)

Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend.  Come back Monday to continue our journey:
