Eastern Market & The Capitol Building

During the past week, one of Steve's co-worker's introduced Steve to a few restaurants in downtown D.C. during lunch break. Steve liked it so much that he wanted to show Tyler and I. Also since Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jerry were visiting for the weekend our cousin Kara, who lives in D.C., it gave us another reason to go downtown. We met up with them at the Eastern Market. It's funny because even though we've lived here for over three years, this was our first trip to the market. Steve and I liked it there very much; there is everything imaginable at the market. We walked around for awhile and then grabbed a coffee at a nearby cafe so we could sit down and catchup. After saying goodbye to Aunt Nancy, Uncle Jerry and Kara, we headed towards the Capitol building, where we were going to do our 2000 cache find. Instead we got caught up in sightseeing the area and never did the cache. We walked around the Capitol and noticed an area where you could actually enter and tour some of the exhibits inside. Unfortunately we could only stay a short time because we had to go put more money in the parking meter, but while there we noticed that they were giving tours. So perhaps next weekend we may come back and take advantage of one of the tours. After we put more money in the meter we where getting hungry, so Steve took us to this cafe that has really tasty sandwiches. In conclusion, it was a great day spent in our nation's capitol.
