National Zoo and Cathedral

Both the Zoo and Cathedral were north of our hotel so we decided to make it a trip. Took the metro up to the zoo and did quite a bit of walking. Brooke loved the giant pandas!


She enjoyed watching the orangutans until they got up to the glass only inches away from her. Luckily Grandma Carol was there to comfort her!


It was a really neat walk up to the Cathedral through some beautiful quiet neighborhoods.


Brooke liked the cross stitched kneeling pillows in the children's chapel because they had animals on them. She especially liked the kittens.


It's hard to show how magnificent the National Cathedral is from a photo. The stained glass windows are so unique, especially the space window that has a piece of moon rock in it! We got to sit back and enjoy an organ recital on one of the largest organs in the United States. What an experience!
