So the Zoo. The Smithsonian National Zoological Park, to be exact.

You know I love big cats, and they have LOTS. And red pandas. And pandas, wolves, foxes, cheetahs, and so many great animals the Norfolk Zoo doesn’t have. The only thing I don’t like is that you have to backtrack so much. And the hills. I hate the hills. If you enter from the road/metro station areas, then it’s downhill as you walk through and uphill on the way back.

But overall, it’s a fun visit!

What’s your favorite part of the National Zoo?
(Mine’s obviously the big cats.) ;-)

Whirlwind tour of DC this weekend with a photography seminar in the middle. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the weekend. ;-)
Not gonna lie, I think that one ↑ is my favorite. (It’s better bigger!)

Things I learned:
– Drive to the Zoo. The Parking lots are much more convenient than the Metro.
– I feel very strongly that a history museum should feel old, not modern. It makes me sad.
– The International Spy Museum is kinda awesome. Highly recommend. Content is interesting, presentation and branding stellar. I didn’t even mind that I couldn’t take pictures. That’s how awesome it is.
Pretty sure I had other thoughts I was going to post, but now I can’t think of them.
