The Other End Of The Mall:The Working Government.

We made it down to the other side of the mall. It isn't like it is this long distance or anything its just a lot of walking, we could ride the metro longer and get off right next to the capitol but we for some reason always get off earlier {we are creatures of habit} so on Saturday we spent the entire day eating and walking around the capitol. We went into the visitor center to see the inside but did not end up going on a tour we are planning to do it on a less busier day then Saturday. There was some exhibits inside the visitors center we walked through and it really is an amazing building, the pictures do not do it justice. Surrounding the capitol are the office buildings of the senate and house and behind the capitol lays the supreme court and the library of congress {more on those later} There is also a cool pond in front of the capitol and has some really funky sculptures of horses and someone that maybe is General Grant its hard to tell :) We really like just talking everywhere and taking it all in. Larry and I keep joking I should be a tour guide I am starting to get everything down pretty well.
