A way-too-short trip to DC to see Grandma Janet

Grandma Janet and Grandpa Dean were in DC this week for a conference so Ripley and I went down on Monday (8/31) to visit. We decided it was time to go to the National Zoo. We had an excellent time, although I think the children's zoo area in Baltimore might have been more fun. In Baltimore, she got to pet (and chase) a goat; there may have been more animals in the DC children's area, but they were not set up to pet when we were there.

I think our favorite animals might have been the prairie dogs, the sea lions (who we go to see getting fed) and the cow.
