I love Washington, DC. The old expression “Potomac Fever” doesn’t apply since I have essentially zero proximity to power. But, having been DC residents for several years Rachel and I are like resident-tourists, always discovering new parts of the city. Here are a few of my favorite Washington-area attractions:
The Bonsai and Penjing Collections at The National Arboretum
Teddy Roosevelt Park and Memorial
The Main Reading Room of the Library of Congress
The Renwick Gallery
James Hampton’s Throne of the Third Heaven
Calder Room in the National Gallery’s East Wing
Kogod Courtyard at the National Portrait Gallery & Museum of American Art
Lincoln and Bethune Memorials in Lincoln Park
Adams Memorial “Grief” in Rock Creek Cemetery
The view from the Old Post Office tower
