Oh my gosh. I had something like the bacon dates at a wedding reception. To DIE for.

Last time I was here was right after my college art history class. Just as exciting to see so many masters first hand including the only DaVinci currently in America. Also,a current exhibit was DegasBaca lagi

Channeling Mom!! So many beautiful pieces of art. I remember the portrait of George Washington, his wife, his dog, and his black servant.
Bonnie BenedictThere were several paintings of George Washington. One of the family, but can’t remember the dog.
PengembaraPerhaps my memory failed me. I was quite impressed that the servant was included.

After a quick happy hour at Virtue Grain and Feed, we headed to an Italian restaurant recommended by our Air B&B, the Landini Brothers. Delicious food. Grilled romaine salads to start. Brian had aBaca lagi

We were able to avoid another security check by taking the tunnel underground from the Capitol to the Library of Congress. We got to see the books that Jefferson sold to them for $24,000. There wereBaca lagi

How THRILLING!!!! I'm tingling all over. The ULTIMATE Library experience. But do they have a Starbucks inside like the Rhodes College Library?
Bonnie BenedictAlas, they have much to learn from Rhodes College. Perhaps a call to the White House would be in order so you can set them straight.

We were able to get into the last tour before everything shut down due to the Corona Virus. Great, free tour.
PengembaraThe Capitol is the most beautiful building. Great tour. Glad you made it. Cobb schools are closed starting Monday, indefinitely. Other counties have followed. We had tickets to a City Springs Theater performance that was cancelled. No church activities for at least 2 weeks.
PengembaraParents are scrambling for childcare and/or fretting about "home" schooling with online assignments.
Bonnie BenedictI’m surprised I haven’t close daycare facilities. Parents to figure out what to do. Perhaps they can telecommute. Feel sorry for all the folks working in the government facilities here. They’re basically being put on a two week unpaid vacation.

After a long walk, time for lunch. Surprisingly delicious food in the cafe located on the bottom floor of the Capitol. Like a food court, with fresh delicious food. We shared a roast turkey sandwichBaca lagi
Bonnie BenedictYes. Ben Franklin was the one who proposed it. Didn’t get any further than our dinner table though.

Does this kissy picture have a hidden meaning? I THINK you know what I mean. Bet you got your steps climbing the monument.
Bonnie BenedictYou have to get tickets ahead of time to go to the top. Not sure they even let folks walk down anymore. We were cut from a stronger fabric I guess. Did we walk down when the family went there on vacation? I remember walking down at one point in my life. As to the hidden meaning, ill never tell.
PengembaraI don't remember taking the steps on the monument. When we were there with the boys it was closed for maintenance/improvements.
Bonnie BenedictMaybe I walked them myself or Heather went with me. I remember having a conversation at the time about Jack Lalane climbing up the monument steps on his hands. Did our family not take a DC vacation?

Pengembara"Making lemonade out of lemons" (a Bonnie motto) and "saving something for next time" (a Nicoll tradition). Safe travels. xxoo
Bonnie BenedictThanks. Just wish we hadn’t taken such up a hit on the airfare.
PengembaraSheesh. You did so much in the days you were there!
Bonnie BenedictIf you remember your address would love to do a drive by on our do over trip. So many memories from my visits there with you.
