The weather was perfect today so Citrus and I went to the National Zoo and had a little breakfast picnic of scrambled eggs, apple slices and some cinnamon buns Elysia made last night. No bacon because someone took every last slice to work. (Supporting our troops, in this instance, is overrated.)
As long as you get to the Zoo before the summer camps, it is a fairly peaceful place to be.
Thankfully they have not added a McDonald’s or Taco Bell, as a recent zoo survey seemed to suggest they were going to do. They seem to have added carts with good quality snacks, although they have also installed hot dog vending machines. Those generally scare me — how long has that hot dog been in there? — but the vendor was fixing the machine and giving out free “test” sausages. It was good and we shared one before cooling off in a mist of water being sprayed on the crowd.
Citrus was also pretty excited to go visit her Mommy at work and will undoubtedly not forget that there is an ice cream shop inside the Pentagon (only 14 out of 31 flavors available). On our way back to the car two Chinook helicopters flew overhead and I pointed them out.
Oh, I’ve seen those at school.
Not impressed. It’s not like we knitted her such things when she was an infant.
