RussLeona Trip 10/24/12 Capital/Pentagon

We met at our Senator Baucus' Office for our Capital tour.  Two members of the Senator's Staff took Leona and I on a personal tour.  We rode the underground trolley from the Senate Office Buildings  to the Capital.  That was really a rare experience.  We had a great tour of the Capital including the Old Supreme Court Chamber, the old Senate Chamber and both current chambers.  The two young men did a great job showing us around and helping us to better understand how Congress works.  Congress is not in session due to the election so we weren't able to see any action.  We took the train to the Pentagon for our tour.  After passing security, we were supervised by two soldiers on a walk around and through the complete building (1 1/2 miles).  The told us about the building and pointed out the many exhibits throughout the building.  We were able to spend some time in the 9/11 Memorial.  It was very emotional.  We weren't able to take photos in most of the Capital and none of the Pentagon so we don't have many photos.
