welcome to the zoo, zoo, zoo

When I was a kid, I was ALL about computer games. 

My two favorites were Freddie Fish and Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo. 

Did you ever play those games?

And did Putt-Putt make you as obsessed with the zoo as I was?

(I mean, it's no secret that I was an animal loving child, but that computer game was the straw on the camel's back, let me tell you.)

Anyways, the big secret of the day is that I am actually STILL rather obsessed with the zoo.

Which is why when Christian suggested we pay a visit to the one here in DC, 

I was on that like an ape on bananas.

(nice animal reference eh? eh?)

*Tip for future DC visitors, zoo fanatics and the like: this was a STUNNING zoo. 

Totally free of charge.

And TOOOOTTTAAALLLY worth it!*

Check out the goiter on that Iguana.

Someone needs an iodine supplement, and fast.

(attn: I know it's not really a goiter. But for reals. It might as well be.)

Enthralled because the lions wouldn't stop roaring. 

SRSLYMYFAV.

This is what happens when you let Whole Foods name animals.

Here's what I don't understand:

Kevin????

I mean come on.

So much love for the zoo!

 We also went back to the National Portrait Gallery, and naturally Christian had to take a picture with his man Henry Ford.

(which explains the random, non-zoo related picture)

And then Sunday we walked down by the Potomac River.

Beautiful DC, we love you so.
