My New Favorite Place
In my mind, it's DC's version of Central Park in NYC. It's called the National Arboretum (which keeps coming out as arbortorium in my head, don't ask why), and it's located on the edge of DC in NE between NY Avenue and the Anacostia River.A friend of mine introduced me to the place this weekend. Having grown up in the area, I cannot believe that I've gone 23 years without knowing of its existance! It was the absolute perfect spot to spend a relaxing Sunday full of sunshine.
There are all kinds of sights to see, including a Bonsai tree exhibit (shown left), the national capital columns (above), beautiful gardens, and many paths/walkways to explore. Do yourself a favor, and check it out.See the Yelp site for some great reviews and suggestions.

I'm so giddy to visit this place! My friend gave it the highest recommendation and then I saw it featured as the back drop for a fashion shoot in Capitol File magazine. Must make it a weekend trip post haste! Glad you had a great time there!
