Let's Have a Peachy Time in Atlanta

Let's Have a Peachy Time in Atlanta

What was our driving factor to go to Atlanta? Last Fall, we saw the news of two baby panda twins being born at Zoo Atlanta and we wanted to go to visit them in person. Living in NYC, we don't have any pandas in our state. In the U.S., pandas are only in the zoos of Atlanta, D.C., San Diego, and Memphis. Here is a recap of our Atlanta trip on February 18-20, 2017.

Lunch at Rumi's Kitchen
