National Zoo

We spent our last day in DC on Tuesday visiting the National Zoo. Like most attractions in the Capitol, this was free! It is a Smithsonian facility, so it didn't cost anything to get in and it was top notch.

Our prime objective of this visit was catching a glimpse of the pandas. The panda house is currently closed as the female may be pregnant, so only the male and the 3 year old are out at times. Well, it was our lucky day! The male adult panda was outside munching on bamboo, and we had a great view of him!
















We also saw the Orangutans, who were moving across ropes right above our heads!

















It was great day. Sunny and in the mid 70's. Couldn't ask for better weather for DC. Stella was in her groove. She took this of herself.
