The 8th day of our adventure started bright and early when Hope set off the fire alarm, then she and her roommates proceeded to get locked out of their room. The day was started off with a big breakfast and we listened to a congressional session, where Kansans took 4 of the 7 spots. Unfortunately, we had to leave early for a tour at Capitol Hill. After walking many miles, we arrived at our destination and toured the Capitol. We were told we looked snazzy and like the interns who worked there and received special treatment. We went and saw Senator Roberts' and Senator Brownback's Offices and got to take pictures sitting in their desks. Each delegate received the opportunity to visit with their district representative office as well. Jessica B got lost in one of the offices and walk out of a door that said "private." After eating dinner at Union Station, we went to Twilight Tattoo. The US Army did drills and played instruments and sang. The girls were excited to take pictures with the soldiers. While at the show, Mary Beth was serenaded and later got a picture with the soldier. As we were driving back to the center, Jennifer reminded us to make sure we take our clothes off due to changing on the bus earlier. What she meant to say was make sure you take your clothes off the bus! A talent show was held and again Kansas was represented well having 5 of the 12 spots. We are so talented!!
