Day7

Today was another good day. As expected, we rose up early to start our day with some breakfast before heading to Capital Hill. The Capital Hill experience was started off with a guided tour of the Capital building. One guide happened to be a current student at the University of Kansas.... which was very ironic. Here's a fun fact for you, the President can't enter the Capital Building unless invited by a Senator.
The MO. + KS. delegations were split up to go to their respective Senator and Representative meetings. The highlight of the MO. kids' visit was the meeting with Rep. Blaine Luetkenmeyer. The meeting with Senators Brownback and Roberts didn't go quite as planned where as Senator Roberts was sick. Brownback mostly talked about the oil spill and the healthcare bill. The Kansas Delegation then split up according to their districts to meet with their Representatives.
We then ate supper at the Union Station. Then, we went to the Kennedy Center and watched a very interesting modern dance production. After, we returned, we had free time, where some used it to play cards, basketball, volleyball and other games. Most everyone is tired, but also very excited to see Hairspray tomorrow, and ready for another fun filled day of DC festivities.
