Today Bub was "sick". We spent the day doing some requirements for his citizenship in the nation merit badge. When you live in the shadow of the nations capital it would be criminal to not visit the actual capital building. I had never been before and it was quite nice. We didn't know how to get in at first, tried to get in at the back…and then tried to walk by the secret service cars and enter the Senators entrance. We were clearly lost but fortunately the nice, and armed, folks posted on the roof tops and at the entrances and all around really were very helpful and we finally did make it in.

We saw a movie about the capital building and then took a tour. Congress was in session and we didn't have gallery passes (much to Ethan's relief) but we did get to enjoy the rotunda and the old senate room and other neat sites.
On our way home we decided to stop in Waldorf and see the Lego movie. We had the entire theater to ourselves. This meant that Ethan got to try out almost every seat and climb on the bars and I got to snap a picture and take a nap.

Tonight we are expecting a snow storm. I hope it doesn't come. Lots of plans for the upcoming days and none of them include being snowed in the house.
