Today was a lot of fun, but it was really long. We started out at the Botanical Gardens, then went to the National Aquarium, or Fish Gallery as I started calling it. It was just one floor and there were only a few tanks...so yeah. Then we went to the Library of Congress and were told that only serious researchers could get a card. Then a group of us went to the F.D.R. and Korea Memorials. At the FDR memorial there was a bunch of high schoolers that were definitely acting their age. A few of them were even groping the statue of Eleanor Roosevelt. Wow...this just made me very mad. I hope that I give my students a better appreciation for history than these students had. I even told one of them to come back when they could vote. But I digress
After dinner we went to the "Capitol Steps" and it was amazing. They do satire and song covers and it was just hilarious. I cannot describe it in words. Just..hilarious. I was in tears.
So yeah, I will end this post with a couple of song titles from the Capitol Steps
"congress, it is a changing"
"he works hard for the country"
"i'm so indicted"
"votin' 4 to 5"

I love the Capitol Steps! They come to AU every fall and I've been to their show a few times at the Reagan Center, I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
(And as you can tell from my comments, I'm pretty amused by your blog. It's interesting to hear perspectives from people who don't normally live here.)
