Day 1 – Tour of US Capitol, Library of Congress, and National Mall
After registration at the Embassy Suites in Chevy Chase, the group boarded a bus to do some sightseeing in Washington DC. Julie Butler hosted a walking tour that took everyone around the National Mall. The group parted ways at noon where some went back to Chevy Chase on a slate roof walking tour while the rest of the group saw the White House and Lincoln Memorial.
