Our trip to the Capitol Hill Club was so much fun.It was an honor to sing at the Congressional Spouses Luncheon. It made me feel important to be around such important people.

We also got the opportunity to go to the Capitol building. At the Capitol I learned so many new things that I haven’t learned yet in school.

When I was at the Capitol, I learned that George Washington was going to be buried inside, but he requested to be buried at his home. I also saw the steps where the president walks down before the inauguration.

Overall it was an amazing trip that I would love to do all over again.
