D.C. Trip Day 4

Day 4 has brought us back to D.C. to experience tours of some of the two most recognizable buildings in our nation. We started out day with a tour of the White House.  It wasn't as cool as we had hoped but it was nice to be able to say that we had been there. We also had a tour of the capital building which was way awesome. There is one room where President Lincoln and another man had their desks.  They were on opposite sides of the room, but there is a rumor that they could hear each other and would listen in on conversations.  Our guide stood on one side and whispered into the floor, we could hear him very clearly on the other side.  It was really cool. It was a great tour with a lot of cool information.The afternoon was filled with going to the Natural History Museum and eating at the Hard Rock Cafe. The Natural History Museum was way cool, we even planned on going back he next day.  We watched a 3D movie on the ocean, it is crazy what they can do in 3D and make it look so life like.

The one funny event of the day happened right when we got off the metro to start the day. We were greeted by a local hobo who offered free flowers to Nicky.  He then kindly asked if I could give him money for the flowers. I ended up giving him a dollar because I feel so bad for people like that. It was sad because he is a homeless man, but we had to laugh because of the flowers. They were very pretty, but he had to of just picked them from somewhere.  We weren't sure what to do with them, or him.
