DC and the National Zoo

Brett and I finally made the trip up to see my sister and her family in Washington DC. It isn't a long drive at all, we just haven't had our acts together enough to make it up there.

Some of our friends from high school are in a band and they were playing Baltimore, MD so we tried to kill two birds with one stone and make it up to see my sister and squeeze in their concert. Baltimore is only an hour a way from where they live so it was perfect. It was nice to see some familiar faces out here on the east coast and we could tell our friends felt the same way during their current tour.

We drove up on a Thursday and had plans to go to the Washington DC National Zoo the following Friday. We went with Josh, Gretchen and Ben; Melissa and Ella; and Brett, Brayden and I. With 3 kids and 2 hugely pregnant women (Melissa my sister's friend) the zoo would make for and interesting outing.

The kids had a blast and I think the adults did too! We saw everything from elephants to panda bears. This was Brayden's first time to a zoo and he really enjoyed it!
