Day 7 – Couple stops, then home
Everyone slept in late and we grabbed breakfast at West Wing again – egg McMuffins yum. We got late checkout (2pm) so we headed to the Library of Congress where they house all the books (like, really, all of them). The building where the public visits (3 total buildings) is very ornate with marble stairs and columns and frescoes. We saw a special exhibit on baseball and got to view the huge reading room from an observation deck above it. Pretty cool visit – we spent only about 45 minutes and then walked back to the hotel.
On the way, we saw the Supreme Court building and snapped a quick picture. It was pretty hot on the walk home, but nothing like last weekend. At the hotel we literally chilled out for about 30 minutes and then went to the airport.
The Reagan Airport has some of the best food options I’ve ever seen in an airport – all before you go through security. We ate at Legal Seafood which is a pretty good place (see Boston trip) and then headed home. Flight to Atlanta, then Austin by midnight.
