Visiting the Capital was an amazing experience!! Our tour guide Laura was Fantastic and Funny she added a lot of humor when telling the story of the Capital, Library of Congress, and Supreme Court. She made the tour Fun and Exciting and even though we didn't go inside of the Supreme Court just being outside the building was an awesome moment!! Going to the Capital was my favorite part of the tour because I got a chance to see a film on the history of Congress and experience the Rotunda where many Ceremonies are honor. The food at the Capital was Outstanding which was a pleasant surprise!!
