OK, I was trying to post all the pictures from DC in one post but it was taking a long time and it was getting confusing and i kept putting it off, but i want to get them up here! So i am going to do it in a couple posts, that will be easier. Now for the pictures!
On our first whole day there we went to the National Zoo!
there were elephants. . .


and gorillas. . .
and orangutans. . .

and a bunch of other animals!
hippos. . . .
ooh look a jellyfish. . .
there's a cheetah way back there, but it's kinda hard to see. . .
i don't remember what this thing was called, it had some weird long name, but to me it looks like a giant hamster or something! :D
and this was like a ginormous hippo, but you can't see it very well in the picture because it wouldn't come out of the water. . .
Well, hope you enjoyed these pictures! I'll be posting more from the trip soon!
