U.S. Botanic Garden/Capitol



































It was a rainy day so we decided that we should go somewhere with better weather -- the United States Botanic Garden on the mall. In there, the weather is always warm and a little balmy. The weather is almost always wrong here, so I'll have to remember to use this as a little oasis. Georgie loved it here, though she got a little frustrated that we wouldn't let her pick any of the flowers.

After the garden, we walked across the street to the Capitol and looked around a little. You can't really go up the stairs anymore but we did manage to see some nice flowers, a fountain, and a circumcision protest.

Sorry for all the photos. I got a little shutter-happy. These pics might have to last a few days though, as we are now all officially sick. As you can see in the flower pictures, our camera is as terrible in macro mode as it is in regular mode.
