It's a nice starting point to walk towards the White House through Connecticut avenue. My wife and I enjoyed there a few peaceful moments on the benches looking at the doves and pedestrians. The memorial they have in the center is quite emotional, too. It took for us some time to go around and get the idea. We saw a lot of people just relaxing on the grass and a music band on a stage preparing for a concert. After all, it's quite a lively spot.
