Thomas Jefferson's Books in Library of Congress


The Library of Congress

The White House in Snow

Piedmont Triad Council of International Visitors in DC





























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.

A Peek into Time

































The McGee family cemetery dates back to mid to late 1800s. My grandparents,great-grandparents and great-great grandparents all rest here. Some markers trace the brief moment on earth of day old infants. Standing on history is an incredible feeling.
