Zola and Dirk hit The District for a couple of days earlier this week. Here are the highlights. As usual, click on individual pictures for a closer view.
Looking for dinosaurs at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum.
No sudden moves, and maybe we'll get out of this jam.
The butterfly garden inside the museum was spectacular.
This enormous butterfly has little transparent windows in its wings.
The next morning, Zola decided she wanted a beard. Then she rolled her eyes at me.
We hit the zoo first thing. Zola loved the Pandas
But she spent most of the rest of her time imitating the animals.
(I'm sorry these orangutan pictures are so poor; it was quite dark inside and I avoided the flash to prevent any "Congo"-type reaction.
Monkey see; Monkey do.
(The crocodile-photo was taken at the national aquarium on a different day.)
Inside the bamboo tiger-cage
Dinosaurs at the Zoo?! No way.
Well, apparently they do have dinosaurs at the zoo. Who knew?
And what better way to cap our little trip than with crazy blue cotton-candy-flavored ice cream?
With sprinkles.

Every time we look at Zola we're like "aaaahhhhh" and "oooooohhh" and "she's soooooooooooooo cute!" We love her little mug.
Rhett approves of the beard.
