Saturday

 Vacation has turned out really fun. Today we really did it all. My legs are tired. I bet i almost got as many steps as rachel today. 20578. We at the archives and saw a lot of the documents. I was surprised how faded they were. It was hard to even tell what they were. Man was there a lot of security. We went to the art mueseum. We had lunch there. We walked over to the gardens by the capital. Casey would have loved it there.  We went over to the capital and took a tour. It is a beautiful building. I was really surprised that most of the pillars are made out of sandstone instead of marble. The tour was nice. You could walk over to the library of congress through a tunnel. What a beautiful building. It didnt look like there were any books. We went to the lookout and you could see.them all. You had to have a card to go.in and touch them. They checked our bags to make sure we didnt have any books on our way out. We got a.crazy idea.to go see the Lincoln memorial at the other end. We hopped on trax and got off by the washington monument. We walked over to the Lincoln memorial. It was a ways. Luckily they did have an elevator up to the statue. It was magnificent. We walked back to trax and came home. We were going to eat out but the places we picked was closed. Go figure. We just came home and had dinner. We are going back to the mall and pick a few mueseums we haven't seen. It wont be so much walking tomorrow. Unless we go back to the Lincoln memorial. The chances.of that are slim. it is hot and humid. Have a great Sunday. I cant believe how fast time is going. Love mom
