Day 5

The Capitol! We had to get up early to catch the train to the Capitol. We met at congressman Joe Wilson's office. One of his interns took us around. They have tunnels that go everywhere! It would be easy to get lost! It was very crowded but we got to see where they make laws and a lot of statues. One statue of a guy from Hawaii looks like a box because he wore a box so he wouldn't get leprosy, but he got it and died anyway. Then we went to the Air & Space museum. I liked the old movies of the planes fighting in the Hollywood theater. I also liked the Wright brother's plane and going inside Skylab. We were all tired and needed a break so we hopped on a bus that has an open top. That was way awesome! We rode around for a while and jumped off in Georgetown. We found an Italian restaurant called Pappa Razi's. It was good and the kid's meals all come with a free sundae! We took bus to the Metro station and got on the train home. We all took baths and I'm doing this while Jack and Lillian are going to sleep. Tomorrow we are meeting Liz and Justin since they don't have to work and we're going to see the Natural History Museum and some other things and then the fireworks tomorrow night! Don't expect an update until Thursday...
