Day 3- Washington DC (Part I)

The first day at DC was a bit frustrating. We had some problems with the place that we stayed at- not comfortable and berhabuk. Plus Irfan big pee pee on the bed! Adoi anak ku sorang. Started off the night before, Irfan kan tak tahan sgt nak big pee pee, but when we got to the place dia dah tak jadi kot, tahan punya lama. So the next morning, I woke up mandi2 by the time I got back- irfan was on the bed playing with his diaper! And he said 'why did you pee pee on the bed?'. And I saw his big pee pee on the bed!! Yucky!
We got to clean it up and looked for a hotel to stay for the night.

Here's the room that we stayed at- Residence Inn Marriot. Marvelous place with breakfast buffet!  I love love love the room. It's spacious and the deco is very much to my liking.










 Anyway back to the tour of the day- DC monuments and US capitol. We were ready by 12 o'clock, made our way to US Capitol. Had an reservation for tour in US capitol at 12:40. Rushing punya rushing made it to the tour at 1:00. The tour guide brought us to see some halls- I really couldn't remember the significance of the place. Humm.. I kinda lost actually didn't really pay attention to the tour. If I remember correctly that's the place where the laws and legal stuff were determined. The president and senates discuss about the proposed bills and if agreed, becomes the new regulation/ law. There's an actual conference office in there where they do meetings. It's open to public but we didn't get to see it because they were not open on the weekends.

Irfan as usual wasn't very amused with the whole legal stuff (there's actually a lot of statues in the building too). He was so restless so half of the tour was just dealing with cranky Irfan, menangis melalak.. our tour group wasn't very please with Irfan (including the mama and dada of course). Geram je aku rasa dgn si Irfan masa tu, melalak dalam enclosed building plak tuh so bergemala.. then he felt asleep. Thank God.

With the tour group

Here's how it looks like inside the US Capitol dome. Amazing architecture.



Moving on, we went to see the Library of Congress. It's pretty much... a library hehe. Actually we didn't get to see the actual library.. it was more of a museum I should say. The library is connected to US Capitol through an underground tunnel. So kami pun berjalan2, it's quite interesting to read all the history of USA, civil war, declaration of independence, all the past presidents etc... very interesting. Given that we didn't have much time, kami pun amik2 gamba je la. Huhuhu..

Everybody was not in a good mood- all because of the cranky monster.

Finally a smile on our faces. Lil monster still in Lala land.

That's all for now. I'll update the rest of the activities at DC later. Too tired to write.
