US Capitol Visitor Center

Last week was visitor week at with the 4Vs. Last Saturday, 10/11, our friend Sandy Mosby came to visit from Oklahoma! Sandy was the PE teacher at Tinker Elementary. Her daughter Morgan came to DC for a Young Leaders Conference and Sandy came to DC to accompany her on the flight and hang out with us during the conference.

We ran all over town with Sandy! One of the new spots we visited was the new captitol visitor center. The center is located underground in front of the capitol building. The picture of the statue above sits inside. She is a replica of the statue located at the top of the building.

Mary Beth visited the capitol during the week prior to Sandy's visit. I went with a friend down the street to visit and catch some health care debate on the floor of the Senate. My neighbor Michelle and I visited Kay Baily Hutchison's office (Texas Senator) to get passes to both the House and Senate. Our timing was good- in the Senate we saw Senator John McCain speaking about access to prescription drugs from Mexico and Canada. It was great to see him in real life!

Despite our multiple visits, we have yet to see the rotunda area of the Capitol. Come and visit and we will check it out!

Love,
