tuesday

Tuesday was our first full day in DC.  We wanted to keep everyone hopping.  It was so stinkin hot!  First thing after breakfast , was a metro ride into DC.  We then walked the 4 blocks to the National Zoo.  Luckily there was a 7eleven across the street where we loaded the Wardlings up with Slushies. Then across the street we walked to the National Zoo. We loved seeing the Panda Bear and other animals.  We tried to stick to seeing the animals that we don't have at our zoo.

After the zoo, we walked the four blocks back to the metro, to head to the Smithsonians Museum of Natural History.

There we enjoyed seeing the Hope Diamond, ocean animals, dinosaur bones, paleolithic people...the wardlings even acted like cave men.

By this time we were all hungry and decided to eat in the museum.  What were we thinking?? The below picture represents our $85 lunch.  Lesson learned.

After all the walking @ the zoo and smithsonian, we had tired Wardlings on our hands.
