This morning 3 of my roommates (plus about 30 other people) went on a tour of the US Capitol through TWC. It was pretty sweet! We were able to walk there, since our apartment is only about 5-6 blocks from the Capitol. Looking at the neighborhood, you wouldn't guess that. But walk a few blocks and the scenery changes dramatically!
One of the staff members from TWC actually works at the Capitol, so after the normal tour ended, she took us around to her office and let us tour the House Majority Whip. The regular part of the Capitol tour was neat, but short and we didn't see much. Just a few rooms, and we didn't get to go into the House and Senate chambers. But we saw lots of intricate paintings, statues, and fancy rooms. :) Overall it was a neat experience!
