When Shorty Came to Town {Part 2. Washington DC}

Elias took June 30th off & we headed up to DC.  We rented a car since we max ours out (which was the worst tiny little car ever...no get up and go, which makes driving in DC so much fun) and headed up early in the morning.  First stop the zoo...
Watching the sea lions

A super nice police man offered to let Ollie try out this thing...which Ollie loved

Then told Owen to get on

Then made them all get on for a picture.  It was awesome :)

We saw the baby panda without a wait (just a bit of a crowd)

Watched these birds be fed.  Which was scary at times...poop everywhere. Hailey was narrowly missed :)

Halfway point & a zebra  
A good tip, start in the back of the zoo, when you get to the front, cross the street and get a slurpy at 7eleven.  Seriously.

A ride on the carousel... Oliver was on a gazelle (or maybe ibex) 

Hailey on an orangutan 

Curtis on an wolf (and being a teenager)

Making Curtis smile & Owen on a cheetah

Owen living it up 

and a lion

After the zoo we headed over to the monuments.  It was a long day, but well worth it...

The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial


The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

The Korean War Veterans Memorial


The Washington Monument


The Vietnam Veterans Memorial 

The Lincoln Memorial 

Elias made them pose for this picture...it makes me giggle

It was a great day.  So. Much. Fun.
