This is a nice spot to sit a get off your feet for a couple of minutes,
and certainly shouldn't be missed if you're going to the Jefferson Memorial. On summer
days the FDR Memorial can be peaceful and inspiring, but during inclement weather it can
get unpleasant because the open air galleries don't provide much shelter. Check the
weather forecast before you plan to go. There are refreshments and benches toward the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial, so don't spend too much time resting here.
