Merry Christmas from the US Botanical Gardens in Washington DC. We went last Thursday to see the Library of Congress and we stopped her as well.

Here is the Nations Capital. Behind and to the right is the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress. It is the main branch. It houses the Arts and Humanities. There are two other buildings. The John Adams and the James Madison buildings. Behind and to the left is the US Supreme Court. Directly behind and in the distance is the JFK/Fedex Stadium where the Redskins Play.

Here is the interior of the Library of Congress, main lobby. It is full of marble and granite and it has all kinds of paintings and carvings.

Here is the main reading room of the library. Quite an awesome place to read a book. Unfortunately it is only open to people who are doing research and who plan ahead. We were not able to get into here.Here we are standing in front of the Capital.

The building behind us was our destination. The Library of Congress. You know the one in National Treasure.
