Day one

Well we made it. Our flights went well although the run through the airport in NY made me wonder if we would make our second flight-but we did:)!!! We got to the hotel and decided to set out for the National Zoo-I wanted to see the Pandas. We got a little turned around and 2 1/2 hours of walking and a couple of metro rides later we are back at the hotel. I am sorry to say it was too hot for the pandas - we did not see one! But we did go to a little Italian restaurant called Italian Pizza Kitchen and for only $11.50 we had a delicious Panini called the Roma- it had Italian ham, Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and greens all drizzles with olive oil on some rustic bread and it was to die for!!! We also had iced tea :) so now we are off to find a great place for supper-well after a shower and a little rest
