Not just any tree...the CHRISTMAS TREE!
Today we had a relaxing Saturday. It was gorgeous weather so
we decided to explore part of DC that we have wanted to but never made it—Theodore
Roosevelt Island.
Roosevelt Island is located in the Potomac River between
Georgetown, DC and Rosslyn, VA. There is one bridge from Rosslyn that connects
to the island and it only accommodates foot traffic. We bought some Café Rio
and headed out for a picnic among the autumn weather.
It was a beautiful day and the island was calm and serene.
Runners and walkers were using the many nature paths for exercise and several
families had the same idea to picnic. As we sat there enjoying the food and
scenery a nice 3x3 buck walked by—I thought how many hunters in the West right
now would love to have him walk by…haha. But no, he was peaceful as can be.
After we ate we took photos next to the enormous statue of
Teddy Roosevelt and read the many inspirational quotes they have in granite
slabs around him. I guess that is when you know you said something great—they engrave
it in stone inspire people one hundred years later!
