Library of Congress Interior














Is this not the most gorgeous interior in the world? Many of DC's landmarks are in "The Lost Symbol," including the Library of Congress. Thanks to Lynne Morgan for her brilliant photography.

We had a great time meeting cool people from embassies from across the world and seeing some DC sites. These are taken in the Capitol rotunda with our embassy friends from Vietnam and Japan. Beth Sheffield joins me. The other picture is of us staring up at the gorgeous rotunda ceiling.

Snowmaggedon 2010








































I have never seen so much snow as I did last week in our nation's capitol. The name Snowmaggedon fit. It was a winter wonderland and the city did in fact shut down for several days. Yes, even the government had to take a break. Here are a few of my favorite scenes of our favorite national treasures of memorials we all know and love taken on Lincoln's birthday. How appropriate.
