Exploring the National Arboretum’s Capitol Columns

One of the best things about living in Ivy City is that I am only blocks from the U.S. National Arboretum. It’s basically a massive park that houses the original columns from the U.S. Capitol building.

The arboretum is an excellent place to walk the dogs and has become one of my go-to weekend spots lately.

We are at the arboretum even more often now that it’s fall and Ingrid doesn’t get overheated. It’s also far enough that Ingrid doesn’t drag dirt into the apartment, which I appreciate.

There’s apparently a bonsai garden and even some indoor exhibits at the arboretum which I’ve never been to (because of the dogs). Maybe I’ll leave the dogs at home to explore it someday. 🌳
