Washington D.C.'s National ZOO!

We have had so much fun this weekend! Yesterday with the Great Falls National Park, and today with the National Zoo. We decided to spare ourselves the crazy driving and parking situation of the city and ride the metro. It is so much easier with Josh helping with the stroller, and the bag, and the baby!
Josh says he had seen all 175,000 different species in the world....well, except the Panda Bear which would complete that great number... SO, we saw the Pandas. They were very cool. We saw 2 enjoying their meal of bamboo, and one totally involved with his toy...a cardboard box.
As we were leaving the Pandas on to our next adventure there was a rock wall with a massive snake climbing through all the crevices. As we watched the snake, in no confined space we learned that the snake was wild, and recently found. The zoo people were just going to continue to keep an eye on him. Crazy huh.
We also saw an OCTOPUS! It was little but I dont remember Hogle Zoo ever having an octopus.
Henry had a lot of fun. He didn't want to hang out in his stroller much though...I guess we are getting to that stage...
Anyway, enjoy the pictures!
