Krissi, Dallen, and Emery came to visit us here in old DC this past weekend and I'm so glad they came. The first day we met up (April 15th, Tax Day), there just happened to be a "Tea Party Against Tax" going on at the Washington Monument. Of course we had to go and support, and mainly just see what these "Tea Parties" are all about.
There was definitely no tea being dumped into the Potomac.
Emery was so funny at the rally, because every time the crowd started clapping for the speakers, she started clapping along with everyone. Other people in the crowd even commented on her dedication to the cause.
On Saturday, my dad took us on a backstage tour of the Capital. It's been so long (when he was in office) since I had done the full tour and it was great to see it now and relive it. I have so many vivid memories of it all and it was fun to have Krissi experience it all too, because she lived through much of that time in my life with me back in Arizona. 
The center of the Capital where the dome covers.
My dad's old office door...just me being nastalgic. I remember many days during the summer that we lived in DC and coming to Dad's office to pester the interns and explore the Capital. Mostly it was fun to watch Dad on the House Floor when it was time to vote.
We lucked out with such lovely weather.
I just really enjoyed having Krissi and her family come to town and stay with me.
