Usually when you see something for the first time, and you've seen pictures, they are mostly underwhelming. Things in DC are much different. The sites in DC are bigger than life and are worth the trip. We got a tour through the Capital building via Senator John Werner's office (we have friends in Virginia) and we peered inside the Supreme Court building even though they weren't in session. I was surprised at how small the inside of the SCOTUS chamber was. We get to go to the White House on Saturday. Iwo Jima, even though under some construction work, was much bigger than I thought. We still have many more things to see including a SCOTUS session, the Vietnam, Lincoln and WWII memorials. We also need to figure out which Museums to see. We'll probably also check out Mt. Vernon and Monticello. Oh yeah, we also have tickets to see the inside of the Washington memorial.
