The Adventures of Sock Monkey Season 2 Episode 2: Washington DC, The City of Museums, Monuments and Classified Information Day 2

   And I am back with more hot and humid and fun and exciting and sleep-deprived adventures! No thanks to the airplane delays. :p Oh well. On with the fun!

   After our two hour nap (that plane...), we had a humongo breakfast complete with bacon, eggs, juice, and lots and lots of coffee. Our hotel is called Embassy Suites - Convention Center. If you want to know. Aaaanywaaay, after breakfast, we walked to the National Archives and took a tour there. I never really noticed how much stuff is in there. *mind blown* They had tons of cool things, like patents, speeches, documents on UFOs (really!), and other really fun things like that. They also have the original copies of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. We reserved a tour ahead of time and I highly suggest it! Picture time!!!!

Special events? Sock Monkey? How nice of them!

We the sock monkeys of the United States...

After the National Archives tour, we walked (lots of walking if you don't have a car or want to pay for a taxi) to the White House for a tour.  But before that, we went to the White House Visitor Center and got some pictures. See below.

Sock Monkey's house.

Now, the White House. To be honest with you, I thought it was kind of small and unimpressive. But that's just me! We asked the Secret Service if there was a secret bunker underneath the White House and, to quote them directly (*ahem*), "I'm sorry, but we can't tell you that." Which means it's classified. Hehehe... More pictures!

On to the tour!

The Vermeil Room. I think...

The China Room.

I see you!

Hmmmm....

Bird-watching, anyone?

Can you see the snipers on the roof?

After the White House tour, we took a taxi to the US Capitol and took the tour of that too. And while the tour was going, Sock Monkey disappeared, so after a lot of frantic searching and multiple parties sent out, he was found and returned. My fault. The tour was nice and if you want to know there is a tunnel from the Capitol to the Library of Congress so you don't have to go through security twice. How nice of them. The tour was cool and informative and talked about the Capitol and what is in there and what goes on in there. So yeah. It was awesome. Though the Capitol will look much better after the scaffolding is off the dome. My opinion. See below for pictures.

The Rotunda Donut.

Lost and found!

Cheeeese!

After all the tours, we took at taxi back to our hotel and chilled and relaxed for the rest of the evening. And that basically sums up Day 2! If you have any questions, comments, things like that, use the comment board! Well, other than that, I think I'm done, so thanks for reading!
