Happy Cyber Monday! Our Thanksgiving trip to DC was pretty epic! We did everything on the program and a bit more. Here are some photos from our adventures at the DC Zoo {Pandas included!! Lol} We went to check out the annual holiday #zoolights at @smithsonianzoo on their opening night on Friday {November 25, 2022} — we’ve always been huge fans of the zoo light extravaganza at the Bronx Zoo, so this was like icing on top 🐼🐯🐻 — the kiddos also enjoyed riding the animal carousel {to quote my oldest — “just like the bug carousel back home but way better!} … you can catch this luminary show — fun for the whole family — before they close on Friday — December 30, 2022!!! ✨✨✨
