AWWW, MAN!
So, okay, I'm in College Park, MD with my family right now.
... I'm not sure why, exactly.
I actually don't think any of us know why we're here.
But here we are, eating Spam sushi (the official traveling food of Koreans) out of our icebox in our dimly lit room at the Sheraton.
(But yes, it is fun. My family and I rarely spend any time together, so this is nice. It makes me giddy, even. "Hee-hee.")
The lady at the front desk said they don't carry any brochures in our area, so I convinced my dad to let me get $9.95/day internet so I can look up places to visit while we're here.
So, I got really, really excited when I found out that the National Smithsonian Zoo is in D.C. and has a GIANT PANDA HABITAT exhibit.
Okay -- okay. Wait. Let me just digress here for a moment and talk about how much I love panda bears. Yes, yes, I know it's a very "Asian" thing to do, but my god do I love pandas.
Here's some things on eBay that I've recently bought/bid on, just to give you a bit of an idea of my horrible obsession:
(And yes, in case you're wondering -- that last photo IS of a t-shirt that reads "Children of TOMORROW" depicting a large, predatorial-lookin' panda and a naked child humping a small globe.)
And wow. -- WOW. How about that? I'm even wearing a lil' t-shirt with a panda on it. Like, right now. Can you believe that?
Anyway, yeah. I got really excited about visiting the GIANT PANDA HABITAT (I think it should always be capitalized, always) at the Smithsonian Zoo -- admission is free, by the way -- but I clicked on the link, and found out that, of course, the GIANT PANDA HABITAT is closed for construction until June 23rd.
