Last Saturday, we made the three hour drive from Philadelphia to Washington D.C. for a quick two days of fun.

Our first stop was the National Zoo.  It’s part of the Smithsonian Institute, and an added bonus? There’s no admission fee!

Fun and brightly-colored animal-themed t-shirts and prints are a must for my babiekins, especially at the zoo!  On the Babiekins Magazine Blog :: A Weekend Road Trip to Washington, D.C. – The National Zoo with Kids

The National Zoo is quite large (it covers over 150 acres) and a bit hilly so we were prepared to do a lot of walking.

I chose comfortable sneakers, and fedora hats for stylish sun protection. Fortunately, there are fun water misting machines along the walking paths to help us beat the heat!

On Sunday, we went for a hike through Rock Creek Park, a national park in the heart of D.C. The roads throughout the park are closed to vehicles on the weekend and it very popular for joggers and bicyclists.

The weather was perfect and we even spotted a deer with her two fawns.

When’s the last time you visited the zoo near your home?

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
