April 2006





Lee and Maddie came in town to see D.C., so we met them down there. We first went to the Jefferson Memorial.


From the Jefferson Memorial, we had a great view of the cherry blossom trees around the Tidal Basin, as well as the Washington Monument.


We also went to the National Zoo.


where we saw the 9 month old panda cub, Tai Shan up in a tree.


We saw a hippo up close and personal as well.


As well as a giraffe.


This baby elephant enjoyed pushing this tree stump over.


As always, we had to get a picture of this capybara (since we ate one in Venezuela a few years ago).


A few of us (including Chad) ran in the Clydes 10K. It was a chilly morning for a run.


We had a cheering section as well.


The 10K came with brunch afterwards, provided by Clydes. A good time was had by all.
