I took last Friday off for a long weekend. The resident West Coaster in the Library Marketing department, I had previously never been to Washington D.C. So when the opportunity arose, I took it. I spent Friday afternoon wandering around alone while my roommate attended a conference. Here is my attempt at taking my own photo in front of the Capitol building. Hi Mom!
After touring the Capitol building I saw signs pointing to a passageway that would take me to the Library of Congress… Of course, I followed them. The interior was gorgeous and so intricately painted.
and I was thrilled to see this exhibit…
I had to check out the Library of Congress Gift Shop and Bookstore where I was not at all surprised to come across…
I just had to snap a couple of photos when I saw…
Ms. Pearl, I’d say when you have your own “action figure” and are shelved next to Bach and Mozart at the Library of Congress, you have arrived!
And with that, I was off to the Smithsonian where I oogled over Dorothy’s ruby slippers and Julia Child’s kitchen. But I think we’ll save those photos for another day…
