DC Trip Day four

We stopped in Starbucks for a quick breakfast before heading to the capitol. It was a beautiful cool morning, gear walking weather. The security was tight, as it should be. The guards were so sweet Isabella as we waited in line. She got a junior officer sucker badge and thought it was pretty cool. We went through the tour, about 50 minutes. It was full if amazing sites, history, statues and everything was so well kept. After the tour we tried to find shelia Jakaon Lee, our representative, to get tickets to sit in on the house. Isabella, come to find out, is too young to sit in on the senate. One of the tour guides was charmed by Isabella and gave us passes so we didn't have to walk all the way down the hill and back. We were and are so thankful. More security stops and we were in the house. They were having a recess so we dint see and business but were still able to get the upclose and personal seat. Isabella asked if we were in church. :). It was very quite and there was a sense of reverence just like in church. We headed to Ebbits for lunch. It has it's own Presidential history! Isabella ate like a champ. Great food.
