Batts Go to Washington - Day 5

Today we went to the Smithsonian National Zoo! It was a great day to be at the zoo, a little bit muggy, but it wasn't hot, so it was fine!

Our visit was made even more special because an old friend from Glenbard East joined us! Michelle and her husband live out this way with their two adorable kids - it was a great meetup!

This Orangutan was actually swinging on a cable that stretches across the walkways! It is a little unnerving, but very cool - and there is a zoo employee nearby to make sure people aren't standing directly underneath as they pass by (ie: the *splash* zone...ewwww)

We decided this guy must be a Grateful Dead fan :o) (Morgan was not amused by these roaming orangatans - poor thing :o)

I think the zoo will go down in the books as Morgan's favorite Washington DC spot! It was a really fun day - now on to a special, Mother/Son date tonight!
