This is one of Washington's statutes inside the U.S. capitol. We were given a tour by one of Patty Murray's interns. We met in the Russell Senate office building (see below) and took an underground train to the capitol. On the train we ran into John Kerry.
This is Russell's building.
Connor did not like this photo. The snake may have scared him.
Connor really liked watching the fish swim around. This was in one of the museums.

There was a great exhibit of photography. The pictures were amazing and it was fun to pose in front of them.
The Capitol Building
The White House, it was a lot more difficult to get to than I thought. It was a really hot and humid day and we got a little lost trying to find it. 
This was a cool height measurement in the gift shop at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Russ measured 1,631,000 in 100$ notes, Connor only measured about $100,000.
Here is Connor next to the new hundred dollar bill that is coming out soon. 
Russ and Connor in the space ship
These are the old desks and chamber where Congress met.
This is at Arlington National Cemetery. Connor and I in front of the Tomb of the Lost Soldiers. 
Here is the changing of the guard, there were a ton of people there. I got in trouble because I was trying to see what was going on and kneeled down between some people and they told me that was disrespectful. So I got back up and felt bad. 
Here is Connor on his first paddle boat ride. On the first one he fell asleep the whole time, the next one he was able to look around and have fun.
Connor also took his first dip in the lake. He really liked his life jacket and sucked on the edges. Here is the video from his first dip. It is a family tradition to dip the babies in the lake. I have this picture of my mom dipping me in the lake and I started screaming!! Connor was like whatever, this is no big deal. Then we went in the hot tub to warm up and he didn't mind at all. He is so laid back.
