Good to be in D.C.
We had a great time at home, although it was way to short. I’ll have to re-cap blog sometime soon about our experiences home for the first time, but there isn’t enough time tonight.
Today we got in at 6:45am EST, and drove an hour to DC. My aunt picked us up at the airport and once we got to her office (a capital building) we took a 4 hour nap in the back of her Jeep. We got up around 12:30 and after showers in the building basement, we had lunch before going out on our first sight seeing trip of the week. We headed over to the Air and Space Museum, and then looked at one of many art museums. We headed back to the Capital and changed into our “evening wear” for the dinner that we attended. It was held in the old Library of Congress building and was given in Honor of the three Alaska state representatives in the Senate and House. It was very fancy with lots of horderves, and fancy people. Each of the politicians spoke and thanked us for coming, and then it was dinner time! We had salmon, chicken, and lamb. it was all sooo good!
We got to see some pretty cool stuff in one of the most magnificent buildings I’ve ever been in.
Tomorrow there is more!

[…] It was on January 18th last year that we few into WADC on another red-eye flight and then took a nap in a Senate parking garage, before going to a black tie dinner at the library of congress, and it was one year ago today that got to interview a US Senator in her office. That was an amazing trip we had….and while I know this one won’t be filled with meeting dignitaries and viewing a president get sworn into office, we’re still excited to be here and spend some quality time with some really good friends and our family.
