DC Or Bust!!

So we got to DC today. My ears felt like they were going to explode as we started our descent into Baltimore. It sucked. But we arrived safely, despite crazy bus driver man. Once we got our stuff into a room at the hotel, we got onto the Metro in search of Ollie's Trolley for lunch. When we got to the Metro station, we ran into Tyreese Bradley, some random guy. He went on this crazy, hilarious rant, with a couple highlight quotes: "My wife said she won't hug me cuz she might get too horny" and "You gonna see me on the ESPN one day and you gonna be like 'That's Tyresse'" or something to that effect. He was freakin hilarious!!! Anyways, delicious lunch at Ollie's Trolley! Their fries rock! Then we toured the Capitol building. It was nothing new, I've seen it twice before. Was able to take a lot more pics this time though, there were less people there. After the Capitol, it was obvious that people were getting very sleepy (we had to meet at the airport at 6:00am, which puts us all waking up at 4am). We went to Union Station and walked around for a short bit. Then we came back and went to a pizza place for dinner near the hotel. The food was ok, I wasn't very impressed. WAY too expensive! But we got back to the hotel and I took a shower. Most people are headed in for an early night, and after this posts, I will be headed to bed as well!

So far so good... already tired

We made it after a series of comedic events while traveling. the highlight of the day was going to Congressman Guthrie's office and getting a tour of the US Capitol building. though I have spent a lot of time in the complex, it is always a pleasure to get to go there on occasion. Also good to see old friends in the Guthrie office. Here are some photographs I would like to share from our day.

Wish us luck!

The 11 students under the advising of Dr. Joel Turner will be left Bowling Green, KY at 5:00am this morning in route for Washington, DC via Nashville. Our Southwest flight out of BNA departs at 7:45 cst. We will be heading to the Days inn as soon as we get to the District. Then we will be heading to the US Capitol at 2:30 for a tour of the Capitol provided by Congressman Brett Guthrie. I hope you enjoy our journey and the students.
