DC with the Jorgensen Family

Jason's family stayed with us the past week. We were able to make it to lots of sights around DC including a tour of the White House and the Capitol building (featured below).

This is the group at the Capitol building.

This is a picture of the top of the dome on the Capitol building. It depicts the rise of George Washington. His face in the painting is 4 feet long which you cannot tell from this picture.

Some of the halls in the Capitol were painted, every square inch with these murals. It was really impressive. It was one man's goal to beautify the Capitol, so he went around painting every square inch of the walls and ceiling.
