Theodore Roosevelt Island

This weekend we took the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery of the DC area by going to Theodore Roosevelt Island. The island is a memorial to the 26th president of the United States on a 91 acre wooded island on the Potomac. It has great hiking/walking paths and a courtyard with some fountains and a statue of the Roosevelt himself.


To get to the island you park and then walk over a foot bridge. From there the courtyard is a short walk through the woods.

One of the two fountains flanking the statue.

Circling the courtyard were four tablets with quotes from Roosevelt.




All around the courtyard was a small stream/ water feature thingy (very technical). We sat behind it and read.
