Taking Aunt Kate to the Capitol

Since we had a few days of summer vacation left, Emma and I decided to take Kate (and Grandmom and Pop) for a mini tour of DC. Luckily, Dad knew a guy who could get us inside the cool parts of the Capitol. (It was Dad.)

Here we are looking at the Capitol dome. The paintings there are ridiculously huge. 

 

Here's what that dome looks like. 

Not many people know it, but there's a secret train underneath the Capitol building. Pop was a little scared, but we calmed him down. 

And here's what it would look like if Aunt Kate was elected Speaker of the House. Emma is concerned about her tax policies. I'm unimpressed with her speechwriter.
