The National Zoo

A few weeks ago I spent an afternoon at

the National Zoo

. This Zoo is a great place for a family outing or for those

visiting DC

. Like a lot of things in DC it is free to attend

the National Zoo

, which is a big plus. It was also cherry blossom season, so the trees were in full bloom, just adding to the overall experience. We were lucky enough to catch it on a beautiful, sunny day with minimal crowds.

That lovely lady in the photo above is the oldest primate in the zoo. I felt like she was looking right into my soul. I also couldn't get enough of the cuddly meerkats and baby tiger. The cheetahs put on a great show- chasing each other around and even being teased by the next door zebras. My nephews and their friends had a great time and I loved having a day outside exploring and soaking up a little, long overdue vitamin D.

What is your favorite place to visit or where would you like to visit in DC? What should be my next stop?
