Phil's first cousin and his family live in the Washington, DC, area. Some of his children belong to the Capitol Police force, and they arranged to take Phil and me on a personal tour inside the Capitol building when we visited them last July 4th and 5th, 2005! What an educational treat and special peek inside this historic building!

I took this picture after Phil and I left the building and had walked down those stairs. I have NO idea who those men in the picture are! ha
