Some of you might have noticed that I have been away from my computer for a while. While not exactly Wagner Farm related I hope you don't mind if I tell you about it. I took my family on a trip to see friends in Washington D.C. . Like every good citizen we dutifully toured the nations capital and museums however some of the neatest things we saw were the most unexpected. As an example, while walking by the White House we noticed that assembled on the south lawn was the entire Army band and color guard. Then all the sudden a black limo pulled up and Angela Markel, the Chancellor of Germany(or at least that was what we were told) got out, greeted the US delegation and went into the White House.
Representative Mark Kirk arranged for us to have a special tour of the Capital. The tour was great with the highlight being the chance to watch history making votes from the congressional gallery. When leaving the Capital we saw yet another form of democracy with the protest that was taking place on the grounds.
We also made sure to hit a handful of the Smithsonian museums. At the end of the day Cassidy spotted a perfect rainbow that ironically ended at the Smithsonian Castle. What a great trip!
