More DC

We obtained our tour of the captial through congressman Jim Ramstads office so we had to meet in his building for our tour to start. Just as we arrived at the congressman's door he walked up! We obtained a photo with him and met in his office for a few minutes along with the other family of four who were also there for a tour. It was funny because they also were from Plymouth! What a small world we live in! :-)Inside the dome of our country's capital! It was absolutly amazing! Words can't describe it!

This is my very favorite picture of the capital! I love the trees bordering it!!!
Inside of the Library of Congress - also an incredible place! Our forefathers had such vision for our nation! An absolute "must see" building to visit while in DC. And...any citizen can obtain a library card there...super cool!


~Jefferson Memorial ~
This is one of my favorite angles of Jefferson at the memorial!~ White House ~


White House from the top of the Washington Monument.
I like this shot because it offers a fun perspective.

Washington DC

In the National Portrait Gallary we took some fun photos with the different statutes. We had a ton of fun posing with certain "ladies" - heehee!

~ Arlington Cemetary ~
They have 25 burials a day! After we had walked around we visited the visitor center and talked with some staff there who said Arlington will be full by 2020. It was such a peaceful place. Everyone visiting was very respectful and quiet.
