Sunshine and Walking

     Monday I gave the family an official Emily tour of the Capitol and Senate buildings. In the afternoon I gave a tour to a couple and one was from Turkey so there had to be some translating back and forth. Yesterday I took the day off and we went to Mt Vernon and toured the estate. It was about 70 degrees. Then last night we did a walking tour of some of the memorials at night. We have been averaging about 9 miles of walking a day. Today I went to a HELP Committee hearing on raising the minimum wage. Different people gave testimony regarding studies done on how it will change the job market. My family leaves tomorrow early and I have an agriculture hearing in the morning. It has been really nice for the past week but now its looking to be 30ish degrees tomorrow.
