Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens

Last weekend we went to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens - truly one of DC's hidden gems. Originally built by a Civil War veteran who dug a series of ponds on his property, it is now managed by the National Park Service and contains of the last tidal estuaries on the Anacostia river. So it's two things - a series of small ponds containing gorgeous lotus flowers, and a boardwalk / river trail around the tidal marsh.

The lotus flowers were in full bloom and we saw lots of turtles, heard lots of frogs, and even saw a goose and some brand new goslings!
