Virginia Day 4: DC Day

We went into the city early in the morning and went straight to the capitol for a little (literally) tour, followed by a day of sightseeing and hilarity. I believe that the pictures say it all.

Oh it was such a cussin' good day. Thank you for the waterbottle...I'm glad someone is trying to smooth over my relationship with the Capitol.

PS...I'm glad the aliens let you come back to earth following the probing.

What an incredibly fun post! And I like the way you title your photos below followed by a space -- nice sense of graphic design dude!

And, oh my, was the macrame coral a treat and Pre Raphaelites and Vermeer and and and. I am almost swooning with rapture!
