Hey it's Becca, sorry I haven't blogged in a while. But it's OK
because I'm starting up again! yay!

| Becca and big brother Bob at the Capitol |
Today I'm going to talk about when I toured the capital building.
Our tour guide, Mark, was very nice. He showed us lots of cool stuff like the
House Chamber (the room where the congressmen vote), the whisper spot, and the
center of the building.

| At the center |
The whisper spot is in a room where they used to hold
meetings, but it had weird acoustics, so the one person in a certain spot could
hear everything very clearly, but everyone else just heard muffled voices.
Later, he showed us a chapel, the "candy desk", and I turned the page
in the Oxford dictionary. The "candy desk" is in the back row, on the
Republican side of the Senate chamber. It means that the Senator sitting at
that desk must have a well stocked supply of candy from his home state in his
desk and is responsible for distributing it at certain times. I had sooo much
fun in the Capitol building that day.

I also learned many interesting
things, but I think the most important question is this: "Would you rather
be a Senator or have your face on a bobble head?" I would answer,
"Bobble head." A Senator would answer, "I'm a Senator, I can
have both."
