Since I live in Northern Virginia - Washington, DC is in the neighborhood !
But that didn't stop us from checking out all the National Zoo has to offer!
We saw -
and TIGERS
Yes, just one bear ( a sloth bear at that, it must be too warm in this neighborhood for the grizzlies and the polar bears) ... unless you count these too!
LB - we (me, you and the little one) will have to make the journey back up to the zoo when you are feeling better and maybe then, the Pandas will be feeling a bit more photogenic!
And what do we have here? Just what were they looking at?
OH.MY.GOODNESS !!
I think it is one of my long lost relatives !! I have often wondered where he was and what he was doing ! I think that he might be in the Hidden Identity Program because you can't see him very well!
(I have never claimed to be a great photographer - Sorry - do I get an "A" for effort?)
Isn't this guy a real cutie? Imagine ... a meercat posed for me? Maybe it's because they have their own TV show ...
There were elephants to see ...
and a zebra ...
and even some flamingos ...
But, I totally wasn't quick enough "to capture on film" the one that was running around and fell flat on his face! It was rather comical ... No injuries to the bird though - it got right back up and kept on running.
But most important ... there were waterfalls too!
Aren't they adorable?
I think this waterfall may have been Tigger's most memorable moment of the day.
It truly was a Wonderful Day in the Neighborhood. I had a great time and hope that they did too. We said our goodbyes - CPA Mom and company headed back to their hotel and I hopped onto the Metro (subway) towards Springfield to retrieve my car and head home.
I got to see my BLOGGING friend and her family once again which was TOTALLY AWESOME. If anyone else is ever in the neighborhood, please let me know and we, too, could venture up to the Zoo !

De-lurking to say you're so lucky! I'd love to meet CPA Mom. I lurk at her blog too :o) Sounds like the day was fantastic. Nothing better then the zoo!
That looks like a really lovely day out. Glad you had fun with CPA mom.
The best part of the trip was spending the day with you! The BEST!
