However, here is my advice. When going to the National Zoo - get there EARLY. We got there about 30 minutes after it opened and the parking lot was already filled up. This was pretty annoying. I guess the good news is we ended up parking for free on a street a couple blocks away. The Zoo is pretty nice and the Panda Bears are fun to see. However, I do not think the zoo was anything that great. But I guess we did just go to the San Diego zoo within the past year.
Getting close - this Panda was chilled on a rock and Kailey and Benson got to get fairly close to it.


Nibbling on Bamboo - they are pretty cute though!
