2. In 1999 We took a trip to Washington DC |
|
At the time my aunt worked for our Representative and we got a personal tour of the capital building. Did you know they have a tram that runs from their offices across the street to the capital? I didn't but I got to ride it, I just wish I could remember if we saw anyone I would recognize now. lol

I thought I was special because I got to ride the tram, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised on a website dedicated to intelligent people. I bet very few tea baggers know about it. I wonder if they told the baggers in Congress about it? lol

we didn't realize you could get tickets before hand, and you had to get in line at 6 am to guarantee tickets and we didn't think it was worth it.
