MD area bucket list: National Zoo

Mitch and I had our last visitors come to Baltimore this past weekend before our big move.  It worked out well because we got to spend a good amount of time together and dump our extra food and spices on them that we were going to throw out.  We use spices a lot so they got some pretty good ones.  We went to the National Zoo, which I had not been to since I was a kid.  Who could beat the price either...I guess that's just one thing that our taxes go toward.  Sarah's husband, being a coffee enthusiastic, took us to a couple of local shops to indulge in some java (me excluded- I don't like coffee).  Before they left, we went to the Inner Harbor for Sailabration, a special event they were holding.   A great visit and another place to cross of the bucket list.

Sarah has about as much love for cats as me

Sarah loved the marmot

I love when the orangutans hang out outside

female lion (thank you zoom lens)

even lions like to sun like their domestic counterparts

powerful tiger

I think 60 Frankies= 1 tiger (by weight)

so beautiful


Tracy found a buddy

Sarah and I joke around that mallard pairs represent she and I- notice she is the green one; she's always walking so fast!
