Today, we were supposed to meet My cousin, Sally, and her daughter, Sarah (who is 14). Unfortunately, Sarah couldn't show up because she had to practice with her swim team for a swim meet tomorrow. And we were supposed to go to the Air & Space museum, but we ended up going to Mount Vernon and the National Zoo. We went up to and walked around George Washington's Plantation. At the Zoo, I saw what I've been wanting to see for many years: Pandas! They were adorable! The male, Hsing-Hsing was my favorite because he would do other things then eat — unlike the female, Ling-Ling.
