This is the only tour that Laura got to go with us. She had to work. We were able to meet her for lunch several times! Since we have way more pictures than I am willing to put up in one day and way more than you'll probably want to see :) I have decided to do several every day for a while until I have all that I want to post. We sure had a great trip and can't thank our host and hostess enough! My computer hard drive died the day before we left on our trip and we are just getting it up and running, hence the lag in time since we got back and finally posting!
The Apotheosis of Washington in the Rotunda of the US Capitol building. 
The frescoes around the top of the Rotunda were done to tell the story of the history of the United States. They ended with the Wright Brothers and their plane. Anna Maria Leinweber's Father-in-law Stephen Stanley took part in this gold rush time.
We all had headphones so that we could hear only our guide. Nice. We had the best tour guide. He gave us about twice the time the others got!
One of the many fun places we ate at during our DC visit.
I really am taller!
We went to Library of Congress to find "A Century of Music in Poughkeepsie" written by Helen Josephine Andrus. She was daughter to Enos Clark Andrus shown here in a picture from the book. He is my third great grandfather and also a father to Roderic Kinsey Andrus who married Kate Leinweber.
This is the Frontispiece picture which shows an older Enos Andrus. This was painted in 1887 and he died sometime after 1895
Both Jeff and I got cards so that we could go look for this book!
The library of Congress is much more than a library full of books! The architecture here, as elsewhere all over Washington DC, is spectacular!
Taken on the main floor of the Library of Congress.
