Day at the National Zoo

With the warm weather back, Arlene and I decide to take Noah to the Zoo. We finally had another opportunity to get out of the house after a long cold winter. We started with checking out the Dupont Circle Farmer's Market for some locally grown produce. Lots of good stuff was available for sale like fresh produce, organic meats, cheese and baked goods. We checked out the freebies, but Arlene only settled for a pumpkin cupcake (she's a sucker for pumpkin anything).

After the Farmer's Market, we drove up Connecticut Ave to check out the National Zoo . Being at the zoo as parents was defintely a different experience. The place was jammed packed with strollers including the one we had with Noah.

I gotta say I love the zoo -- it's very relaxing and it's an educational experience for the kids. Here are some pics of a couple of the animals we saw today.
Silverback Gorilla...

Lions...

After the zoo we walked up historic Macomb St. to grab lunch at 2 Amy's which I'll blog about very soon.
