Washington DC trip

July 19-22, 2007

Brandon thinks I am silly for taking a picture of the elevator

Outside NC Rep. Bob Etheridge's office

Inside the Capitol dome

Still inside the dome

The four of us in the Capitol

Brandon and Matt

Thanks, Abe! Could you bend down a little so I can reach...

It's Nancy Pelosi's giant office

Another cool room in the Capitol full of statues

Brandon is an awesome tour guide

Jimmy is standing on the center of DC

Erin and Matt in front of the Capitol

It's Chris Dodd! He's running for President! This counts as famous!

Brandon showed us our senators' offices as part of his tour

Brandon is a blackberrying machine

Our other senator's office

We got to go in the special tunnels underneath the Senate offices :)

It's the Capitol again...

...from a different angle

Erin and Brandon in front of the Capitol

Brandon's office in the Pentagon! :)

Way too much walking; it's margarita time

Jimmy and Matt :)

Day 2: Inside the US Postal Museum (yes, there is one)

James - this is for you :)

My brother in a big rig

Matt is slowly getting the hang of the art of statue-mocking

Surely we don't have enough Capitol pictures yet

Yes, we still have a long way to walk

Strangers suck at picture-taking (hello? top of the Capitol?)

On the Mall: Amish people trying to convert us

Washington Monument. Soon we will be inside the top of it

And one with the brother

It is tall and pointy. Beautiful day, btw

Views from the top. Mr. Bush's house

Lincoln Memorial

Jefferson Memorial

And down to the Capitol

Zooming in on the White House

Looking out the windows

This picture is in no way staged

What? You can't tell it's the Constitution?

National Archives. Too dark to photograph things inside

Hope Diamond in the Museum of Natural History

Matt in the new WWII memorial

I was here when Clinton dedicated this land to the memorial in 1996

No more Jimmy, now it's us and the Lincoln Memorial

Erin, Abe, and Matt

Gorgeous day

Matt at the Korean War memorial

Hi, George! Can we come in?
