Hi Everyone!! We had another great day today! We started out our day (bright and early) with a delicious breakfast from the hotel buffet (yum!!). Then we found our way all the way over to the Library of Congress where we got to see Thomas Jefferson’s old library. We also learned about the forming of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and our Bill of Rights.
After this we booked it over to the Supreme Court just in time to hear a lecture telling about the history of the Supreme Court and how it works. Then, we walked over to Union Station to get some lunch. We had to scarf our lunch down because we had to make it to Senator Max Baucus’s office in time for our tour of the Capitol. After having tons of fun at the Capitol, we decided to check out the National Art Museum. We had a lot of fun seeing all the famous artists’ work. We saw Monet, Da Vinci, and lots of other memorable artists. After having a blast at the Art museum, we were on our way to go and have normal dinner with American food. We walked by a cute little Mexican restaurant and mom decided to be adventurous and try it out. We went in, got seated, and read the menu. This is what you spot first: Cow tongue tacos, Cactus Salad, and Squid enchiladas (yuck!!). I gave mom the evil eye for choosing this restaurant in the first place. I finally found chicken enchiladas and ate them without a problem. Then came the queso that Maddie ordered………

We have to get up bright and early tomorrow because we are touring the White House and have to be there at 9:00 a.m. We had lots of fun today and I hope we have as much fun tomorrow.

Still having fun,
Mackenzie
