I won't give you all the graphic details, but my body has been pretty upset with me the last two days. Ugh. Ah well - it was an awesome weekend before 4am on Monday morning!
The boy and I went to the National Zoo in downtown DC where I got my animal fill for the day. A ton of the place is under construction because they're working on this HUGE elephant walking thing with bridges over top, but right now it mostly resembles a broken down skate park...
Except the saddest thing was when we got to the tiger exhibit...The tiger was pacing back and forth outside the door to go in/ get food/ out of the cold/ be with its mate, I'm not exactly sure, but it refused to leave the doorway and kept jumping up on its hind legs to look in through the tiny window.
Oh, and sad part #2 when we were in the reptile house and there was this young snake trying desperately to dig himself through the corner of the little glass cage he was temporarily living in :(
BUT -- on a happier note, I got to see pandas and wolves (though the wolves were quite the masters of hide-and-seek) and some crazy antics of elephant seals and I got to spend a relaxing day with the boy, which doesn't happen very often so we're trying to fix that :)
p.s. Did I mention we were pretty sure it was mating season in the reptile house...?
