Trip to the Zoo

We gave the boys a membership to the zoo for Valentine's Day and last weekend was beautiful weather so we packed up the backpack and headed out. When we got there it was crazy busy of course, and they told us we were going to have to start parking on the street. Scott just drove in to check for a parking place and we got right up front. yay! There were like 11 spots available...crazy attendants.

The main reason we got the membership is because we get so worn out trying to see everything in one day and this way we can see it in sections and go back from time to time. Plus prices are going up to $15 for adults and $9 for kids. Crazy! We got a membership to the National Zoo in D.C. for only $60 and it has reciprocal membership to zoos and aquariums across the United States. Yay again! So this year is going to be the year of the Zoo! Hey, I also will need something this summer to do with the boys! Did I mention the zoo has a playground and a water splash pad...oh, yeah we are set!
