Our next stop was in Alexandria, VA for a visit with Ken, Ellen and Little Tim. It’s always great to head into D.C. and check out the museums and this time we finally made it over to the Capitol. A huge thanks to our friend Chris who took us on a behind the scenes tour of the Capitol and the Russell Senate Office Building. The little subway car that took us from the Russell SOB to the Capitol was pretty sweet, and they’ve done a nice job on the new visitor’s center.
The newly renovated National Museum of American History was a highlight. Things are well done and very up to date–in the American Presidency exhibit they’ve even got Barack Obama up there as the 44th President of the United States of America. January 20th can’t come soon enough!
We had a lot of quality time watching Little Tim, more great food, and even time for a few games of Risk. It was tough to leave the comforts of VA, but there was a trail calling our name in Kentucky…
