Unusual Summer House A Great Stop When Visiting Military Housing

 I found an unusual site to visit when I was last in Washington DC.  When you are staying in our military housing this summer get a look at the Summer House at the Capitol. The Summer House is a small, red hexagonal brick building just downhill of the Capitol Building on the northwest side. It looks like an old World War II bunker and has red brick and tile in an unusual style. It was built in about 1880 as a place for visitors to stop to get water on their way to the Capitol Building. Because there was a natural spring that bubbled up there, the building was built around it.  There are benches and shady areas to rest. In the original design the water gathered in a large bowl and ladles were set around it for drinking.  As the water ran off it was directed down a carillon that was supposed to make music.  It never worked..........

Today the water is supplied by the city, not the spring. The red tiles and other areas are showing wear, but it is a very unique site that most people don't know exists.

Visit Botanic Garden When Living In Military Housing

When visiting Washington DC and staying in military housing you may think that the monuments, memorials and museums are all there is to see.   But, one of the greatest attractions in the city is the United States Botanic Garden.  This beautiful and unique venue
is a living plant museum that informs visitors about the importance, and often irreplaceable value, of plants to the well-being of humans and to earth's fragile ecosystems.
More than 200 years ago, George Washington had a vision for the capital city of the United States that included a botanic garden that would demonstrate and promote the importance of plants to the young nation.  And now we have his dream in the form of this amazing venue. The garden is open daily at 10:00 am and admission is free. If you would like a guide for your tour this is available and the information they will share is mind boggling.  Make this a must when you visit DC this year.
