So here we go. On Day 3, Monday, we went on a US Capitol tour and then to the Senate and House Galleries. Security is pretty tight. We lost an expensive bottle of Baby sunscreen to the security policy. April is still a little bitter.... We got to see a whole bunch of famous Senators (McCain, Kerry, Franken, Lieberman, etc..,) as they got ready to "discuss" the debt ceiling / budget deal.
On Day 4, Tuesday, we went back to DC and went to "Tennessee Tuesday" with Senator Corker and Alexander. We got there in the nick of time and got to hear them speak and get our pictures taken with them. We then took a Trolley tour around the city and got off at the Smithsonian of American History and stayed in there a while. Just as a side note we were gonna eat at their cafeteria but a drink was $3 and a BBQ sandwich was $9.05. I would have gnawed off my arm and ate that before I paid those prices...so we left. By this time it was late and so we got back on the trolley and went back to Union Station and finally got back to our condo. Oh and let me say that it is hot here too...as is much of the nation. Me thinks it is supposed to be cooler the rest of the week but we shall see. Last night we went to eat and came home and C.R.A.S.H.E.D. And all was well.
For all that are wondering, Josie and the rest of the kids are doing great. I definitely suggest that you never let age of your kids get in the way of making trips and memories. They all are loving it and learning away. The next time we come back they will remember some of these things and hopefully will help develop their love and appreciation of our nation and our nations history.
