I felt sad that the president's family has to live there, since there are tourists roaming around their house all the time, and Klane assured me that they don't actually live in the parts of the house the tourists see. :) Oh.
Dept of Treasury
A pretty rooftop. We kept comparing DC to NYC and were amazed at how clean and beautiful and quiet DC was. I think it was quiet because of the holiday weekend. Or maybe we're just used to how crowded NYC is. Either way, it was like a ghost town!
We ate at this really great place around the corner from the Whitehouse called Old Ebbitt Grill. It had a very "DC" feel and the food was yummy!
My fearless leader, consulting our fearless leader, the iPhone. It was our savior; we wouldn't have had much of a vacation without it. We would've been lost, hungry, frustrated and tired. Thankfully we had it and were able to plan and navigate as we went. Thank goodness for technology!
We got to the capitol in time for our scheduled tour only to find that it had just been closed for undisclosed security purposes. The cops wouldn't tell us why or when it would reopen. But at least we got to take pictures outside before they cleared the premises! It was a little disappointing but mostly cool and very government-official-top secret-seeming.
The wind was blowing and Klane said, "give me a sexy look." That's all I got. :)
Supreme Court
We loved the Air and Space museum, especially Klane. He impressed me by being my guide and telling me everything I ever wanted to know about planes, aircraft carriers, etc. How does this guy know so much? He's cool.
The "japanese tourist" pose. He's in front of an A-4 Skyhawk and was very excited about that.
A model of an air craft carrier. Klane told me all about the science of how they launch and land planes on the shortened runway. Very cool!
