Tuesday we headed to the National Zoo. I had taken Wyatt with a friend last year about this time but the older kids hadn't been. So we thought it would be a perfect activity. It was a warm day, but thankfully not too terribly hot. It was sticky humid though and I think Don and Faith were questioning our fondness for the East cost at this point. There were a lot of animals that were out and we got to see most of what we wanted to. We missed the amphibians which was what Wyatt wanted to see the most. I guess that means we will have to go back. We got lucky and got to see the Pandas. If you were to go today the Panda exhibit is closed because the female panda just gave birth the other day. People were pretty excited because this particular panda had had several pseudo pregnancies so they were ecstatic that she actually gave birth to a live cub this time. The other fun and much appreciated feature at the zoo is the misters. They are placed all around the zoo for melting patrons to walk through and cool off. The kids had a ball and each time they would walk out of them we would think they were drenched only to have them completely dry by the time we would arrive at the next mister. Did I say it was warm? Yeah maybe a little, but it had been much warmer in days past so we considered it a reprieve. The zoo is another must see if ever in D.C.!!
