On Saturday we ventured down to Washington, DC for a couple of reasons... One of them being that I was dying to take Izzy to the zoo - the National Zoo.
It was a lot of fun to get out of town and do something different for a change.
"Makin' memories" as Will says. ;)
And of course, seeing Izzy's little face light up when she spotted a cow, and when she found the rocks that lined the walkways {pictured above}... Oh and she loved people watching..
But Izzy!! There are monkeys! And elephants! And.. so many otters and seals!!!
Ahhhhh, toddlers. They are such special creatures.
Although we did have a really special monkey moment.. There was one - a gibbon I think? Just hanging out kind of on a chain link fence, less than five feet from us, staring out. Seeing that monkey and Izzy just watch each other, and connect with eye contact was pretty darn neat..
We also saw lots of otters.
So many otters.
It was a great day though, and that was just our first stop....
;)
XX,
Cassie
