Washington D.C. - Day 2

National Capitol
We booked a tour through Harry Reid's office to go through the Capitol. It was fun to go through and see the Rotunda, all the state status, and the great paintings.




American History Museum - Loved loved loved this museum. We got to see a reenactment of the Woolworth's lunch counter sit-in, the original Star Spangled Banner, and tons of other exhibits. We didn't even get to see all of them there was just so much.

White House

We also went to the Spy Museum which was such a fun place to visit. You get your own Alias and mission you have to complete and get tested on all the skills you learn about espionage through out the museum. They had sweet lipstick guns, and crazy other little spy trick things. It is right next to "Ford's Theater" - but the theater was closed for rehearsals so we weren't able to do a tour of it.
Funny Moment of the Day:

Crazy Guy at the White House - He was dressed in a suit with a top hat with a bunch of luggage, it seemed a little off but didn't think too much of it until he pulled out a wand..... He spent the next 20 minutes waving it around and pointing it at the White House. Great entertainment, especially when Justin pulled out his Light Saber app on his I-phone and matched the wizards wand waves with his Light Saber
