Visiting the US Capitol

On Saturday, a group of us got to do a tour of the interior of the US Capitol.  The building was beautiful and crowded.  You could easily get lost in this building with how many stairs, corridors and rooms it has.

Dresden wondering what the heck we are doing

This star located in the catacombs (not as "tomb-y" as it sounds), represents the center of Washington DC.  Because of this, the US Capitol doesn't actually have a physical street address.

We walked across the Capitol grounds onto the National Mall and they were establishing the 31st as National Dance Day.  Nigel Lythgoe was there to receive the pronouncement from a Senator.

...and Dresden fell asleep.
