While we had Chase captive, we thought we would take advantage of his skills and knowledge: he took us on a private tour of the Capitol Building. Uh-mazing. It was really fun to hear all his personal stories, and go behind the scenes where most tours don't go.
After the tour, Andrew was super hungry! This is top priority. When Andrew is hungry, nothing else can be done first. Luckily, Chase knew where the nearest vendor cart was. Sadly, they didn't take plastic. BUT, the man gave Andrew a hot-dog for free. Um, don't say city people aren't nice. We've got some charity here on the East Coast. I know we get a bad rep, but the vendor man really came through.
And lastly, the steps of the Supreme Court building. I don't think most people make it here while touring DC, but it's right behind The Capitol. The Library of Congress is also right there, and we took a quick run through, but no pictures...we had to get Chase to the airport to see his family. :) Andrew was really hoping to visit all three branches of Government in one day and stop by the airport, but we were already late. Broke his little Government Teacher heart. But we do live so close, we can go for the trifecta another day.

Hey Ann - that's great you found my blog. I feel like I do know you even though we've met once right? Thanks for living over here on the east and giving me hope to see Allie more. If you ever need anything up here - let me know!
and yes, the world is a small small ironic world!
