68) Rock Creek Park

Visited: Sunday, July 21st, 2013

Rock Creek Park was - entirely unexpected.  First of all, it's essentially entirely within Washington D.C. - but is nothing like what I expect from the District of Columbia.  Unfortunately, there was little parking save at the Nature Center, so that was the only part of the park we explored.

But - the center was fascinating.  In addition to some snakes and bees, there were three turtles - and they were amazing.  Megan's facebook page has video of one turtle - but another, as we were getting up to go, _followed_ us (within its tank) as we moved away, at very un-turtle-like speed.  I enjoyed the turtles - but the boys absolutely adored them, watching them for more than 15 minutes.

We tried to visit the Pierce Mill as well, but found no parking there.
