It is amazing to walk just off Wisconsin Avenue and come across such an oasis like Dumbarton Oaks. You feel like you are stepping back in time to a kindler, gentler world. The pool is something to see and while the general public is kept out, there is a sign that says the pools can be used by employees (we hope they do! it is stunning!). The patio room with the ancient trees is also beautiful to see. We thought the entrance fee was a bit high, but feel better knowing it is going to restoration work.
