The first thing my sister and I did in DC was take a tour of the capitol. It was a fun and interesting tour. I didn't get many photo's from inside the capitol. They keep you moving on the tour and you cannot lag behind . . . . if you do you'll get escorted out by the capitol police.
This is one of my favorite photos from DC. I love the bright colors of the rain coats and umbrellas set against the solemn background.
I like this one a lot because you can see the Washington Monument hidden behind the fog
I took this picture for my family. :) The pilliars were made to resemble greek colmumns but to add an American touch they look like corn stalks.
These next few photo's were taken inside the rotunda room. It is a huge and beautiful room.
This painting is inside the rotunda. The tour guide pointed out George Washington in the photo. He's the one with the purple blanket across his lap. For some reason I get the feeling that George Washington wouldn't be comfortable with some of the ways he's been imortalized.
If I remember correctly, this flag is hanging over the path the President takes when he walks out of the capitol for a press conference.
This last photo I took as my sister and I were crossing the street. I'm sure Milne was very embarrased :)
My favorite TV show is Bones. Every so often FBI agent Seeley Booth has to make a u-turn. I think this photo looks like the place he always seems to be when he has to make the u-turns. :)
