picked up Shelbs and Ash. Headed to the airport where Shelbs was asked my sercurity and the checkin if she was a minor. me laughing while saying "ahhh you look like a minor." passing through security Shelbs got extra screening through her purse because of her keychain pocket knife. bad Shelbie. Sat down our stuff and whipped out uno to make the time go by a little faster while waiting for our flight. boarded our flight. first stop Denver. landed and rushed to our next flight. next stop DC! landed, grabbed our luggage and headed for the metro then to our hotel. unpacked and went to bed. woke up early, showered and headed to the White House for the tour. waited for 30 minutes in the ultimate humidity. went through two screenings and finally i was in the White House. Went through the ballroom, green room, blue room, red room and more, pretty much the east wing. got yelled at by security to not touch the wall while i was in the red room. i touched the wall in the red room. its fabric with nothing behind it. went to corner bakery for breakfast. ate my first sandwich of many on the trip. went back to the hotel for a quick nap. woke up and headed to the capitol building to get a tour from Scott. went through parts of the capitol that a normal tour you wouldnt get to do. saw where President Washington would have been buried, yes it was going to be in the capitol. walked the path where every president was walked to give the address they give every January. met up with Matt and went out to get some lunch at Union Station. Ate my second sandwich at Potbellys. so good. said our goodbyes. boarded the metro to the smithsonians. walked through American History museum. my favorite the 1st Ladys dresses. went back out into the blazing heat with dreadful humidity. walked over to the air and space museum. looked at the space side of the museum then hoped back on the metro to head to Eastern Market to get some fresh fruit and bagels. went back to the hotel and stayed in for the night.
