Adventures in DC
Tuesday:
Jenny dropped me off at the airport in MN at around 4:30ish there was no one there so I got through the airport and though security in roughly 20 minutes. My flight boarded at 5:20 so I had a good amount of time to sit. Luckily it was pretty empty at the gate so It wasn't too weird for me. The boarding flight and stop were all fine and what I think were pretty normal other than it being snowy. I did however forget how scary takeoff and landing can be. I came in to DC around 11AM. My flight was late by about a half hour though because the plane needed to be de-iced twice. Katie picked me up I dropped my stuff at her grandma's house where she's staying for now and then we headed to the Zoo.
The National zoo was SO COOL!
I saw all sorts of things I've never seen before. We primarily went for giant pandas. I was the most excited bout the invertebrates area, there were jellyfish and an octopus, and urchins, and all sorts of other sea creatures that I was totally in love with. The small mammals and bird areas were pretty great too, I really liked the armadillo, he surprisingly cute. I took lots of pictures of things, but lost my camera card while I was there :( more on that later.
After the Zoo we went back and just hung out and then saw a presentation about new windows (the family is getting new windows)
