We’d planned on going to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park for days in advance as part of Chris’s D.C. sightseeing tour, but it was a bonus to learn that the Fujifilm Giant Panda Exhibit, home to the zoo’s three pandas, was reopening just hours before our visit. The exhibit had been closed for several weeks due to the annual “let’s try and artificially inseminate this panda and then wait three months to see if we’ll have a cute baby panda” experiment. Result: Fail, for the third straight year.
