Adventures at the Zoo

by - Sunday, January 31, 2016

After dealing with blizzard conditions last weekend, DC was gifted with a perfectly gorgeous day today.

And between the snow and piles of homework that kept me cooped up for lots of the week, when one of my friends suggested an afternoon at the zoo, I pretty much jumped at the idea.

Pretty much a perfect day to hang out with some animal friends at the @smithsonianzoo.   See my snapchat for all the photos and videos.

We hit my favorites first! The elephants!

And then waited in a ridiculously long line to see the pandas. Bei Bei was asleep, but Bao Bao and mom and dad were there chilling and nom noming some bamboo.

We also got to see Charlotte the porcupine, who was making her public debut today!

Other highlights include the red pandas (not Rusty!), and of course the great cats and reptile house.

All in all, a pretty solid way to spend a surprisingly nice winter day in DC.
