It’s all about finding the Right Hill

Bimmer Milestone Birthday – 100k

Memorial Day in Washington, D.C.
Jun 1st
Elizabeth and I decided to get away for Memorial Day, and where better to visit than our nation’s capital?
While we had intentions of seeing the parade on the National Mall, we ended up staying in the Georgetown area of D.C. Our modest hotel room had a view overlooking a college courtyard (which was occupied even late into the night).
Monday morning brought us the Smithsonian National Zoo (free admission!). We frequently visit zoos on our travels, as they are a mutually amusing activity; Elizabeth loves seeing animals, especially new ones, while I enjoy the challenge of capturing the experience on film.
Remind anyone else of Pride Rock?
