Home

     Well I am officially back in Iowa for the summer.  My last week I went and saw a bathtub in the tunnels of the Capitol that has been there since the 1800s. DC was one of the best experiences ever and I learned so much! I plan on going back someday to hopefully live out there but until then I will be here in the Midwest.

Baseball and Concerts

     Last week I went to a Nationals Baseball game. They played the LA Dodgers in DC but lost the game. It was still really fun to go to the weather was great. On Monday this week I went to a Lady Gaga concert! It was so much fun and it was amazing to live! I have given a couple more tours but otherwise work has not been super exciting. The weather in DC has been super warm- yesterday it got up to 92 degrees, which is almost too warm.

Happy May!!

     It is officially May!! The flowers in DC are blooming all over and it is so nice outside. Last week it rained for three days straight with some flood warnings. The past two weeks I have been writing letters to constituents, helping the Banking Committee do different things, and attending a House Ways and Means Committee about Medicare. I also toured the Botanical Garden last week.

     On Tuesday I will be going to a Nationals Baseball game and attending a hearing about tourism this week.
