Our Trip To The Zoo
Jun 14, 2009 General
Some days when I write a lot, I can’t feel my hands. Especially my finger tips, that discomfort is just plain annoying. Yesterday though, it was nice to have a break from work and pain in different places. Specifically, my legs. We went to the DC Zoo yesterday, which is The National Zoo.
Hiking up those hills is challenging, but the heat was worse than miles of walking. I plan to write about our trip to the zoo, which was fun but exhausting. I am glad that the Washington,DC zoo is free. I would have been upset about having to pay for a difficult experience, specifically the crowds of rude people. Never have I seen grown adults, pushing people or even trampling over kids, just to see a damn animal. The zoo should really do something for crowd control. There was several times when I felt that my son was unsafe, and we even walked away from several exhibits instead of allowing people to shove us around.
Kody had fun though, and that is all that matters. He did so well all day, even without a nap. At the monkey exhibit, he got to see a monkey up-close, which just thrilled him. I should write a thank you note to the zoo, Kody hasn’t stopped talking about the “monk” that he got to see and even doing his monkey noises. We did not get to see pandas, which disappointed me. A lot of the exhibits were either being renovated, or the animals were nowhere to be seen. It may have been the heat, or something else, but again I’m glad the zoo is free. It would not have been worth an entrance ticket.
