Spring Break Fun

With all of our upcoming craziness we opted to keep things simple for spring break. 
I worked my last shift on Monday. It seemed strange to leave the place. I hadn't been there very long. I guess that made it easier to walk away from. Now I'm on to full time organizing/planning. It's a lot of work!
On Tuesday I decided to take the kids to the rec center for some fun swimming time. We had the kiddie pool to ourselves for about 30 minutes before we were surrounded by camps of kids. We didn't last too long after that. 
Wednesday was April 1st and Chris's birthday. The kids and I spent the day running around shopping and decorating for daddy. We set up streamers and balloons in the kitchen. When he got home we all went to dinner at Sweetwater Tavern. We celebrated with donuts and played Agricola until late. It was a good day.

Thursday was a gorgeous day! I decided to be brave and took the kids to the National Zoo on my own. The drive there was stressful and long! The zoo is literally in the middle of DC. It's nuts! The traffic and parking was a nightmare, but we made it. The zoo itself was really great. Unfortunately, my camera died soon into the trip, but I managed a few shots.






We had a blast exploring the zoo! Loved the lions and baby bears the most. It was great to see so many animals outside playing in the sun. It was the most playful I've ever seen zoo animals. I wish my battery had lasted. Our drive home was just as terrible. I'm glad we did it, but I'm also glad we won't be doing it again. I'd recommend taking the metro if you want to go. 

Today it rained all day. We spent the day at home. Grace had a playdate and Neil went to his speech appointment. Claire had batting practice. Nothing exciting. Hopefully our weekend weather will improve. 
Today was also Chris's last day. He starts on Monday at Netflix. Crazy!! Our roller coaster continues...
