The National Zoo

Profile, King of Beasts.

Fat little prairie dog. Seriously, is it prego? Not being a prairie dogologist, I don't know. But it is certainly showing some cleavage, prego or not.

I go to the zoo, but what I notice is the flora- look at this beautiful lily pad and bloom!

We had a fun time at the Zoo in DC, which is free due to the fact that it is part of the Smithsonian. It is really a beautiful zoo, with lots of trees for shady paths and pleasant views. It is built on a hill, which they call a gradual incline, but I'd say there was nothing gradual about it. It is quite a hike, especially pushing a stroller.

Ruthie really wanted to see some giraffes, but there weren't any. Maybe they were away on vacation. She also wanted to find this weird hairless mink looking thing that we saw on the brochure, but we didn't find it either. But she and Mac loved the invertebrate house, the butterfly house, and the other various and sundry one-time occupants of the Ark.

Jay and I saw some famous man, not sure who he was, but we had fun guessing. Prince of Spain is my guess. Or tennis player? We wouldn't have known he was famous except that Jay overheard someone else mention him, and then we tried to be sneaky and look and see who he was. Funny.
