Lafayette Park - Washington DC

Lafayette Park is just north of the White House. Walking back to our metro station, we walked through Lafayette Park, taking in the beauty of its many water fountains, paths, and viewing benches. We were probably the only one's in the park! If we were dropped in the middle of it, we would have no idea that we were in the Nation's capitol city.

The first night my fiance and I were there, we were too exhausted to sit in the park for long, but we decided to come back another night and take a romantic stroll through the park with ice cream. So after a Saturday night eating at the Capital Grille on PA Ave. right inbetween the Capitol Building and White House, we tried finding an ice cream parlor near the park, but to our dismay, there was no ice cream. We didn't let that damper our spirits, so we walked through the park anyway. As we came to the fountain we had sat in front of the first night, my fiance proposed! There was no other place more romantic than in a gorgeous park in the heart of DC! Of course I said yes, and the rest is history!
