After touring the Capitol Rotunda, Aaron (our course leader) surprised us with passes to go into the House of Representatives chamber. These passes are normally only available by special request from your representative, but Aaron managed to have some available for us. This was a really special treat and something previous groups have not had a chance to do. Several of the kids recognized it from the State of the Union address and, since the House was not in session, Aaron was able to talk to us some about the chamber. Unfortunately, no electronics are allowed so no pictures.
Now it's underground to the Library of Congress.
What an honor !!!!! Thanks to Aaron from the parents.
