Day 8 (6-23-2011)

Congressional Session, National Cathedral, and Dinner Cruise. Today we started off with a little later of a morning. Yeah for sleeping in!! We then went to a strategy workshop in which we discussed problems with the four bills we have been working on. We then took those problems to a congressional session and had a debate. This was just like a real congressional session. After lunch, we had a little free time. We then left and went to the National Cathedral; it is ten stories tall and very beautiful! We took a guided tour there and seen several different things. It included: a stained glass that had a 4-H Clover in it, very impressive designs, and Helen Keller’s tomb. After that we went back to the 4-H Center and got ready for our cultural heritage evening. The girls were getting all dolled up so some of the guys wanted to join in! Johnny and Austin E. both got some mascara and they were looking gorgeous! The entire group was all dressed up and looking very elegant. For our evening we took a dinner cruise on the Potomac River. We ate pizza, danced, and took tons of pictures on the open top of the boat. It was extremely fun! We even had the wedding ceremony on the boat. We then rode the subway (Metro). It was a new experience for most of us. We then walked like a mile from the closet stop to DC Cupcakes! We didn’t get to eat our cupcakes until we got back to the 4-H Center, but now we can say we have all been to and eaten DC Cupcakes! We then walked all the way back to the subway and took it two more times, Stetson and Brandon followed Amelia around and sang to her all night, it was so funny! Kansas just makes things super fun! We then got to take a metro bus, after that and our boys were definitely looking out for all of us. Finally we got back to the 4-H center and ate our delicious DC cupcakes. We were late for curfew, which the security guard was not happy about. O well, it was all worth it!
