Capital Hill

What a day! After our marathon day yesterday we had to be ready to head to Capital Hill at 6:45 am this morning. I'm pleased to report I had all 18 students make it down. Almost all on time and all dressed beautifully! Nice to see! We had breakfast with the Nebraska Congressional Delegation and then met with each of the members individually. Great meetings and the kids asked great questions. Senator Nelson even tweeted about our visit SenBenNelson

It was a hot hot day on the hill. Thank goodness we had all of our meetings in the Capitol Visitor Center.

There has been a fierce competition to collect the most state pins. Big award tomorrow.

The final dinner dance with all 1500 kids was tonight. What a great way for the kids to cap off the week. James and I got a free pass tonight. NRECA chaperones the dance so all the state chaperones and tour directors can have a quiet meal. We were able to have dinner in the rooftop restaurant with the Montana chaperones. Nice and quiet!

I'm letting the kids sleep in tomorrow. We don't meet til 9 am!
