Smithsonian National Zoo

We went to the zoo for our last family outing before classes start.
Sydney and Noah loved riding the Metro to and from the zoo

but were a little taken back by the speed of it.

There are two beautiful lion statues on both sides of the entrance into the zoo.

Sydney and Noah loved getting to see Mei Xiang, Tian Tian, and Tai Shan.
Here is a link to check out the pandas live on Giant Panda Cam:National Zoo.

We got to see the elephants up close and personal for their feeding.
Sydney and Noah squealed with delight.
