A place to play

A place to play: Theodore Roosevelt Island, Washington, D.C. Having been in DC for almost five years, I felt a little embarrassed that we have never been there. Roosevelt Island is a 88.5 acre island and a national memorial in the Potomac River, established in 1932. Interestingly, the island was also know as My Lord’s Island, Barbadoes Island, Mason’s Island, Analostan Island, and Anacostine Island (from Wikipedia). Oliver and I made a visit to the island the first weekend in September. It was hot but he was a trooper. I am not sure what he enjoyed more, running around and playing in the dirt or watching the planes fly overhead from Reagan National Airport. Just a couple of pictures from the day.
