Today has been a very exciting day for us. To begin with, we went to the Supreme Court Building, and saw the actual chambers where the justices meet. From there we went to the Library of Congress, which we thought was the most beautiful building in Washington. The next time I come to DC, I will get a library card, so I can go to the reading room! Then we went to the Capital Building where we ate lunch and took a tour - the inside of this building is beautiful also. This day was the most exciting day we have ever had - we were honored to meet our U.S. Congresswoman, Virginia Foxx. She took us on to the House floor where we were allowed to actually cast votes! She also introduced us to several Congressmen, including Paul Ryan. We also got to meet the Speaker of the House, John Boenner, who sang happy birthday to Arwen! We met briefly with our Senator, Richard Burr.

We went on a tour of the Capitol.
The center of the city - the Capitol is the center of Washington D.C.
The inside of the Capitol Dome was extremely beautiful.
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx worked hard to make sure our day at the Capitol was very special.
