lazy weekdays...

Since I didn't have school on Monday and John resigned from his job we decided to make the most of our day off and head over to the zoo, along with what seemed like every small child and their parents in the DC metro area. The mission was to see Tai shan, the adorable panda cub. After I spent an eternity photographing the little guy and listening to all the kids yell "PANDA" to get his attention, John and I took off to explore what other creatures the zoo had to offer, including:

Asian Elephants


Beavers


harbor Seals


Sea Lions


Brown Pelicans


Cows


prairie Dogs

and finally:

Scary Snake-Man John

Later that day, we headed over to Roosevelt Island which features this gigantic scary statue of Theodore Roosevelt:

We also saw a bunch of really cute dogs splashing around in the Potomac River:

All in all it was an absolutely wonderful day!
