My Washington DC Trip "The Final Day"

I guess the day had to come when I came home from DC. But my last day was great fun. I got up early packed and headed out for one last day of adventure. First I went to the National Zoo. I love it however I sware they do not have lions and tigger though they hava a cage for them. I have gone to the zoo probably 10 times or more now, I ran through it a lot when I lived there, and have yet to see a tiger or a lion. I am convinced that sometimes zoo have a cage and sign but no animal- but they make you think they do. I did see lots of fun animals.

Here is the cool orangotan. He kept giving me the funniest looks.


The cute baby panda having breakfast, though dinner in China.


Papa panda going to bed, they keep him in a seperate cage then the babies.


And my favorite part of the zoo. The chetas. Every morning when I ran outside I would run and strectch in front of their cage then head out. They are so so beautifull. If I could I would have either a Cheta or a lepord for a pet.


Arent they so pretty.

The Smithsonian Castle, very beautifull garderns.


For my Sunday fun I chose to visit the Seckler, Freer and African Art Galleries. I could only get pictures at I believe the Freer gallery as the other would not allow photos. The Seckler was all asian arts. The Freer was middle eastern and eastern hemispher art, Chinese, Japenes, Korean, Middle East, etc. And the African Art Meseum was just that African Art-very pretty ivory carvings.

Above and bellow are pictures of the Peacock room at the Freer gallery. The most beautifull room I have ever been in. And if you couldnt guess is was all peacocks.









Well my trip could not come to end just yet. After these galleries I visted the Cafeteria of the National Gallery for lunch and gellato. If I had time I would have seen some art. And to top off my wonderfull vacation my last DC wish came true. I got caught in a huge thunder storm.

Thanks Maggie and Annette for a wonderfull vacation.

It looks like you had lots of fun, Kendra! We'll have to do something one of these days, since our "U2 roomie" numbers are slowly dwindling in Utah!
