Reston Zoo with cousin Dianne

At the beginning of the month, we met “cousin Dianne” at Reston Zoo one morning. I have to say that she was such a trooper, because it was freezing cold that particular day…and super windy! I didn’t manage to get too many pics along the way, especially after I felt […]

Oxon Hill

Catching up again. Last month, we went to Oxon Hill Farm in MD and had such a fun morning despite the rough start of the day. We were the first people to get there (bright and early at 8:00 a.m.!), so it felt kind of deserted, and it was still […]
