SCORE! Drew's passport application was accepted! Hip, hip, hooray! We had a lovely and relatively uneventful experience at the passport office and then went on a celebratory tour of DC. Heck, the kid was sprung from school for the day so a tour was definitely in order!
Here you see us post passport in back of the Capitol. The buses were transporting guests for the National Police Memorial Dedication. We caught a bit of the ceremony and it was quite impressive. From there we trekked around the building and explored the Library of Congress. My little bookworm was in heaven! Then we wandered through the Longworth House Office Building, catching up with Congressman Chris Van Hollen and getting a tour of the Capitol from one of his staffers. It was quite a day! Many thanks to Congressman Van Hollen and also to Congressman Steny Hoyer for his help with Drew's passport.
I almost forgot ... we left the passport office and turned right. At the first corner we ran in to a colleague I hadn't seen in over a year! It was providential. How great to catch up with Andrea, if only for those brief minutes.
