Library of Congress

Sometimes your socks get knocked off when you least expect it.  We hadn't planned on visiting the Library of Congress, but were intrigued by entering through the 'tunnel' from the Capitol.  It is probably the most stunning building we visited.  The attention to detail was phenomenal.  Our son, Brandon would have loved it and probably would have spent a week there.  He particularly would have loved the mosiacs.
The Library of Congress is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution and serves as the research arm of Congress.  One of the exhibits featured the editorial cartoons of Herb Block.  He was so 'spot on' in so many of his cartoons.
