Thursday 8th February, we were up very early today and headed off to Capitol Hill. Caesar had a veterinary appointment this morning in preparation for his return to England. All was well there, the vet thought he was very fit and well, he was 73.6 lbs (33.45 kilos) today, which is about a pound less than he weighed when we left home almost three weeks ago. I guess all this cold weather means he is using more energy to keep warm.
After the vets we went with my friend Patty Kennedy for a tour of the Capitol building. It was so wonderful to see Patty again, especially as I had been unable to see her when she attended the IAADP conference as my guest last week, due to my being unwell. The of the architecture ofthe Capitol is every bit as splendid as I remember it from last year. Karen really enjoyed her first visit to the heart of this nation, we saw several of the more well known senators including Hilary Clinton. We enjoyed watching a debate about climate issues in the House of Representatives and also looked in on the The Senate. We had a delighful lunch in The Senators Dining Room and rounded our visit off with a visit to the Senate gift shop ... well it would have been rude not to, wouldn't it?
Patty dropped us at our hotel late afternoon and we had a quick change and headed out for one last sightseeing tour, mainly to take photographs of some of the monuments and memorials which we had seen but not snapped before.
As it got dark the temperature really dropped and we hurried back to the hotel about 6.30 feeling very cold.
This evening we have been packing and getting ourselves organised. We want to try one last geocaching outing tomorrow before we head out of town.
Here's a few of todays photos.
