As busy parents living on Capitol Hill, we know how hard it is to find a place that’s inviting to both children and adults on this side of the River. The Family Room provides a safe, child-friendly environment that allows kids to play and parents and caregivers to be adults . . . they will be close enough for you to monitor yet far enough for you to get away.
