Mom was determined to make the most of our trip. On the first morning, she woke us up at 7 and assigned the shower schedule.. she was eager to hit the ground running. Here we are standing in line for tickets to the capital building.
After we got our tickets, we found out that none of the buildings opened until 10:00 am. So we sat in front of
tee pees for awhile.
The sidewalk in front of the Botanical Gardens had a bunch of different globes. This was something like reduce, reuse, recycle.
We sat around and waited longer. We tried our best to avoid the millions of middle
schoolers that were there on field trips. Millions of them.
Our Mom could out-tourist all of you.
Ben at the Botanical Gardens.
We went on a tour of the Capital, but our tour guide was an old lady and we couldn't hear a thing she said. The
highlight was meeting Fabio, a tourist from Brazil.
We knew we would meet someone famous!! Ben and Jesus by the Capital.
This was the conference that Dad went to. We could spot a lot of the doctors all over the place. We just looked for bald old guys with glasses.
Dad finished each day at noon and we hung out for the rest of the day.
We visited the National Cathedral.
If you ever go, check us out in the SC guest book!
We lost Mom in the gift shop so we hung out on the lawn and waited.
She brought us cathedral cookies.
Ice cream sandwiches, possibly made by the church ladies themselves.
We topped off day 1 with dinner at Union Station.
