Bureau of Engraving/Printing

The office of our senator scheduled us for a tour here yesterday, but it was Veteran's Day, what brilliant minds.....so we could have moved it to today but we didn't have the time. So we stopped by just for a quick look....

Potbelly Sandwich Works

I didn't quite get to take a picture of this place but they have a few of these in DC so if you ever visit, I definitely recommend it....its like a Subway in that you have sandwiches made but its better quality meat and bread for just as cheap, actually a little cheaper even....

Smithsonian

We spent a few hours at a couple of the museums which was pretty cool....

The American History museum had cool stuff from the various presidents, a special exhibit for Lincoln, and a look at the different wars America has gone through...

Then we went to the Natural History musum.

The pictures here are from the Natural History museum but the American History museum was much more interesting to me haha....

Lincoln Memorial

There were so many people here looking at the Lincoln Memorial yet not nearly as many are looking at the Constitution at the National Archives! Haha

Supreme Court

and the statue of John Marshal.

Originally, we were going to get in line this morning to see an oral argument, but last week we received notice of being granted a White House tour.

White House

After requesting one from Boxer and Feinstein, we were lucky enough to get a tour of the White House. We didn't get to see everything of course, but we did get to see many of the different rooms open to guests of the White House. The coolest part was the various paintings of past presidents.

Georgia Brown's

An upscale southern restaurant in DC, just behind the White House. In fact, according to this article, the Obamas ate here....

I typically don't order fried chicken when I go to a restaurant, but I thought I'd give it a try and I was so pleased with my meal! The restaurant turns basic food into something really good....the mac n cheese was unique as well.....
