Thursday, Day Six: The Capitol, The Library

Arrived at the Rayburn Office Building just in time for our guided tour through the nation’s Capitol building. Unfortunately, the rotunda was closed (speculation was that Laura Bush was anticipated in the area). We did have a nice visit with Emily, the intern from Colorado. She gave a good tour – for the areas where we could go to. A promise to be shown the rotunda in a private tour will take us back tomorrow. Then lunch in the Rayburn cafeteria.

Our next stop was the Library of Congress, and it was an outstanding place and tour. We enjoyed having a dedicated guide for our little party, plus two, who needed elevators and handicap access. Simply stunning building! Very ornate, beautiful. One of my favorite activities thus far!

Dena took the kids back to the apartment, I stopped at the national Day of Prayer activities in the Cannon House Building. After some time interceding for our military and then judges, I went to the Spy Museum, where I purchased tickets for Friday afternoon.

Home to another Mexican meal, and we retired rather early.
