After having L and R awake from 12:30am – 2, we were all a little loopy Christmas morning. But the kids were overjoyed that Santa brought them such a haul. They have complained before that Santa doesn’t bring them any big toys. But we explained Santa knows we only have limited room in our suitcases. 😉

Our morning destination was the zoo, since that was guaranteed to be open. It was a cold morning but we bundled up and just enjoyed the walk. Stopping at a playground along the way.

We also passed this beautiful WWII memorial cemetery. It was a good chance to start explaining it a bit to the kids.
–
They’re always trying to entice the birds to land on them 🙂
The zoo was neat, a good time filler before our movie in the afternoon.

We managed to find a Middle Eastern restaurant that was open and we had some amazing food for lunch. Then we were off to Mary Poppins Returns.

We walked back to the hotel and relaxed a bit before heading out to a nearby Indian restaurant. Everywhere we’ve eaten has been so delicious.
It was another day where we all walked over 9 miles. Ty and I have been so impressed with the kids. This is our first trip in years not bringing a stroller. We haven’t even needed to use a carrier. The kids are whining about it either! They mention that their feet are sore, but heck so are mine! They’ve definitely exceeded our expectations.
