Hidden Oasis

Right now in DC we're experiencing day two of an incredible heat wave. When I woke up this morning at 6am the temperature was already 80!  The air is sticky, the sun is brutal and the heat is consuming. 

What I wouldn't give to escape to this Cleveland Park hidden oasis created by landscape architects Scott Fritz and Leslie Gignoux...

Hope it's cooler where you are!
