Karin and Sue were in Washington DC for professional purposes; however, the three of us zipped into the city a day early so we could meet one of Washington State's excellent senators (Patty Murray, photo coming soon), take a tour, and sit in on a senate session. Sadly, we didn't get to see a senate vote; Joe Liberman was holding down the fort in an empty senate chamber. Here we are on our tour, Sonja looking down, Karin and Sue looking up.
