 If you can't tell from the words beneath the statue, this is Brigham Young.  In the Capitol, each state is allowed to pick two people and have their statues in the Capitol.  Trivia time!!!  We have 2 statues.  One is Brigham Young, who is the other?
 The Rotunda.  I have a cool story about this as well.  ;)
 a room in the Capitol and a nice view of my hair.  ummm......
 The Supreme Court building.  Cool but scary.  Looking at this, I have sworn to never walk up those steps as the one on trial.  I don't think I'll ever get to that point, though.  ;)
 The Capitol.
 The Library of Congress.  Interesting fact about this:  The Library has a collection of 22,000 teddy bears.
 Sitting at the Library of Congress with a good view of the Capitol Building.
 The Washington monument.  In August of last year, an earthquake happened in DC, cracking the Washington Monument.  How do you fix that?
 The Thomas Jefferson Memorial
 Thomas Jefferson is my favorite President, and NOT just because he played the violin.  ;)
 The Washington Monument
 We were in DC for the National Cherry Blossom festival, which is ironic because the Cherry Blossoms happened a couple of months ago.  DC was so  crowded!!!!
 Unicyclists for the parade.
 Us at the Lincoln Memorial.
 a missile at the National Air and Space Smithsonian Museum.  My favorite :)
