National Arboretum, part two

 From the meadow trails, we drove on over to the Asian Gardens area and were delighted to see that it was open!  We spent our time in the Japanese Woodlands and Chinese Valley.  By now, Romeo was "shooting blanks" but still wanted to pretend pee on everything.  I was still keen on finding flowers.  At one point we traipsed down the switchback walkway to the flood plain along the Anacostia River.  Romeo was eager to see everything, although the hike back up the ridge from the river was an effort at times.  He's such a good boy.

Hey, Romeo!  Are you up for the walk down to the river?  He says, "Let's Go!"

THE ANACOSTIA RIVER

Someone did NOT like that the little dock is a floating "moving!" dock...
