I haven't been to the Smithsonian Zoo in probably 25 years. While visiting some friends in DC we decided to go buy and check it out on a whim. I'm so glad we did!
It's pretty cool that we have such a great collection of animals in such a short distance from our home in Richmond. While there are a ton of people, mostly kids running rampant, the zoo is big enough that you never have to wait very long to catch a glimpse of the exhibits.
The highlight for us was definitely the big cats, and believe me they are big!

This is not the scene you want to see if there isn't a gigantic wall between the two of you.
