Washington DC Federal Buildings

US Capitol: just a gorgeous building which gave me goosebumps thinking that this is where laws get made.

National Archives: Unfortunately they don’t let you take pictures here, but I got to see the actual Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights and it made me giddy. Also the staff there have so much fun it’s great.Library of Congress: You can access it by taking a tunnel from the Capitol. All along the the tunnel the walls are lined with posters telling you what you you can expect when you get to the Library. I was looking foreward to seeing Jefferson’s library, a display about women’s suffrage and a Guttenberg bible. The Library of Congress is just breathtaking. I continue to be amazed at the architecture and decoration. All of the ceilings are done in Mosaic tile.

 

Labor Department: remember Francis Perkins, the first woman to hold a cabinet position? They named this building for her.
