Pandas at the National Zoo

I am so glad we got another chance to see the giant pandas at the Smithsonian's National Zoo. In November, Tian Tian, Mei Xiang, and their cub Xiao Qi Ji, are all returning to China.

There were other animals at the National Zoo too, not just pandas! California sea lions here.
