Well I am writing this a little late but I am updating you on my parents’ trip. It was fantastic. As soon as they got to town I met up with them and surprised my dad at their hotel. I had told my dad that I had to work all day that I would meet up with them after work, but I got off work at 12 that day to spend the afternoon with them. He was pretty happy to see me, and I had tried to surprise my mom as well, but she asked me the night before about eating lunch at the airport. I tried to convince her that there were plenty of places to eat around their hotel when they got here, but she was set on eating at the airport. So, I had to tell her that I was meeting them for lunch and Not to eat there. It was great thought at least I got to surprise one of them. From the hotel, I started their DC experience. I took them to Pennsylvania Ave. to eat at a little sandwich place and took them straight to the Capitol for a tour. They were really excited to see where I worked and hear everything that I had learned up here. The tour took a few hours and by then they were already getting pretty tired. All during the tour, they would see Congressman and Senators and would get excited to be walking by them. That night I took them to a wonderful dinner for their first night in DC and we were all worn out after that. The next days were followed by a TON of site seeing and a lot of catching up. I loved being able to show them around where I have been living. My dad was even more excited because at their hotel lobby they ran into a Congressman from Oregon , and he asked my dad if he was one of the incoming freshmen, and that made his day. All in all it was a great trip and I really enjoyed having them up here. Now to update you on work. Work has been great! We are back in session and all the Congressman are around everywhere. I have run into more Congressman in the past couple of weeks than I have all semester. It has been really awesome. We are still doing the normal office things, but also starting to get ready to start packing for our new office. It has been wonderful so far! Until next time…
