See D.C. from the Potomac

You know what the Potomac looks like from the city, but have you ever seen the monuments from the river? Thompson Boat Center provides the opportunity, offering hourly and daily rentals on canoes and kayaks. Pack a lunch and paddle over to Roosevelt Island for an afternoon. It's the surest way of all to beat the crowds.
