There is a fantastic exhibit displaying Thomas Jefferson's personal collection of books, the ones he sold to Congress after the library burned to the ground. It was so lovely. Thousands and thousands of books organized the way he had them organized.
The books are lovely, the rooms are lovely. Can you tell I loved it there?
I want to study in that reading room(and I might get the chance!).
The arch says 'Library of Congress', which you can't really tell from the picture. I smiled like that the whole time I was in there.
I just can't even believe that I have been to the Library of Congress. AHH!
I also saw the Capital, which was pretty amazing.
Did anyone else ever read American Girl magazine? I remember reading about this monument and the petition to get it into the Capital. It was wonderful to see it in real life.
Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. I may have snuck away from my group to get these pictures. Then I couldn't find them. Oops.
This may have been one of my favorite days so far. Even though I have 6 blisters to show for it. Definitely worth it!
