Washington DC

Senator LeMieux invited Clyde to testify at

the Commerce Committee meeting on ideas

of how to increase tourism in our unknown

National Parks. We have never done anything

like this, so it was VERY interesting and

a lot of fun to be included in our

democracy!

On our way to Washington DC

We stayed at the Henley Hotel. It was

very nicely located near everything and

also had a great restaurant with VERY

good food.

Ahhhh...how sweet...Clyde brought

me breakfast in bed!

Clyde in front of the Capitol

It is hard to covey the thrill and

pride that filled me when we came

up to the Capitol building. DC is

just as amazing and

diverse as our

country

That person standing at the bottom

of the steps is Clyde...sort of gives

you an idea of how big the Capitol

actually is!

Walking up to the Russell

Senate Building for the

Commerce Committee Meeting

Ceiling in the lobby of the

Senate Building

Beautiful stairs

Senate

Hallway of the Senate

Imagine all the things that go on

behind those doors!

Meet & greet Senator LeMieux and others

Clyde and Ken Burns. Ken used some

of Clyde's images in his latest project

The National Parks: America's Best

Idea. Ken joined the panel.

Everyone is getting ready for questions

from the Senators. There were some good

ideas. I hope all of us helped with ideas that

seemed logical and that the government

is able to use.

Leaving Washington DC

Admiring all of the Dogwood in bloom

as we leave Washington DC. Feels good

to see nature instead of buildings...
