Trip to DC

Clay's cousin, Jennifer, was in town for the weekend, so we joined them in DC for a little sightseeing.
Here's Jennifer with her sons Jonah and Jason.

Our first stop was a tour of the US Capitol.

This is the ceiling of the dome. The painting is called The Apotheosis of Washington. There are 2 statues from every state throughout the Capitol. And the white one is a model of the Statue of Freedom on the top of the dome. Jennifer's friends came with us, Emma loved their daughter, Bella. She did great at practicing for babysitting. :)

After our tour we walked through the tunnel to the Library of Congress.
This is one of the most amazing building along the Mall. From floor to ceiling it is a work of art.

We ended our day by walking over to see the White House.
