Before Dad's visits we call him and ask what he wants to do while he is here. It seems we always forget to get tickets to at least one thing he wants to do in time. This time the stars aligned and we were able to get tickets to everything.
We started the day off at the Library of Congress. The architecture was gorgeous.
This was the library where Nicholas Cage showed the world the "President's book." 
We took a tunnel from the Library of Congress to the Capitol because it was really, really, raining!
Dad found Sam Houston quickly! We were able to get tickets to the House of Representatives Gallery. They were not in session, but we sat and looked around. After the Capitol, we took him to Good Stuff Eatery. You can't be that close and not eat there.
We had tickets to go up into the Washington Monument for 2:00. It was so chilly and wet. They let us in thirty minutes early! The view up there is amazing, but today the windows were wet! This is a picture from the first time Nate and I went up.
We stopped by the Smithsonian Castle before heading home. That place is gorgeous!
There was no rest for Dad when we got home. Ethan had him playing Memory and Uno. 
Nate, on the other hand, couldn't keep his eyes open!! It's early bed time for EVERYONE tonight!
