We went to the zoo! I have not gone to the zoo in a long while and I have to say that despite the heat it was much fun. I also got to test drive my new camera...
The National Zoo actually holds a lot of really interesting animals that I had never seen before -- despite frequent trips to other zoos. I had never seen, nor heard of a sloth bear before (at left) but got to see the new cub that was playing around.
There was also a new panda cub (Tai Shan) but he was sleeping when we walked by so all we could see was a black and white furball curled up next to a big black and white furball.
Also we got to see prairie dogs, lions, orangutans, porcipines, etc...
...not bad for a free zoo. I highly recommend a trip to the National Zoo if you're ever in the area and want to feel like a little kid. Not as highly recommended is doing a zoo trip in 100 degree weather.

Hey Melissa! I still have been checking your blog once in a while and love to see you back again. Recently I have been inspired to start my own so check out caperlove.blogspot.com if you want.
Anyways, I love the zoo pictures. I am also a bit obsessed with the cuteness of Tai Shan and am sad you couldn't see much of him! But monkeys are my most favorite. I'd take one home if I could.
Can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!
