We decided that since we officially reside in VA, a trip to DC should count for a "travel" on our blog! We found ourselves at one of our favorite spots to visit in the city, The National Zoo. Just like any other trip to the zoo it was hot and full of kids crying for their parents, parents ignoring their kids and great big piles of Elephant Dung!
The highlight of our trip occurred at the Great Ape House when we made friends with a Spanish speaking family. Since Em only hablos slightly (and learned it on the streets of Columbia, don't ask!) it was up to Meg to be this families tour guide. As we circled the Great Ape House- the Apes were very photogenic and we were able to witness many female apes walking their young ones around the enclosure. The small Spanish girl who Meg was playing tour guide too, seated atop her fathers shoulders for a better view, turned to Meg and said, "Donde esta el Jefe, Meg?" The most precious thing.
Thankfully Meg was able to spot el Jefe and point him out to the girl before her corazon was broken.
