-Had Round 1
Me at the Round 1 table |
Elli and I after Round 1 (Check out my quill pen! Kidding.) |
-Met Senator Lugar
-Went to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
-And toured the Capitol
Our tour guide at the Capitol told us that the Capitol Visitors' Center was built to house the Senators and Representatives in the event of a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack, "but it also doubles as a visitors' center!" Guess what? You get more ornate photos!
The Old Capitol rotunda (the chandelier was NOT stolen from the Titanic) |
A ceiling |
No public Senators allowed! |
Supposedly the center of Washington, D.C. If you rub your foot on it, it brings good luck. |
And some neat, unrelated ones.
A plaque marking Abraham Lincoln's desk from when he was a representative in the Old House Chamber |
The Washington Monument as seen (basically) from the Capitol |
The Supreme Court |
The Library of Congress |
