the national zoo

The day after our Rock Creek Park excursion, we went to the zoo with a new friend who is living here now but in the process of moving to San Diego. So we don't have to be sad when we leave here because we'll get to see her in San Diego too. We really enjoyed her company, along with her adorable baby. She also happens to have a kick-ass online store for green household items. It's called Greater Goods, go check it out!

I don't typically take pictures of animals in the zoo, but this was too good to pass up. They have what they call the O Line which the orangutans can use to get from one building to another. It's pretty cool to see them swinging by above.

And just chilling out in the tower.
