Mr. Alger Goes to Washington

Without the tricky political plot, that is, although he and his group did have breakfast with Senator Franken and Congressman Walz. Did they engage in any political banter? I doubt it :) Steve has been sending pictures here and there, mainly to show Isaac that he does indeed still exist. Here are a few we've received:

Changing of the Guard at Arlington National Cemetery

Standing at the Lincoln Memorial, looking across to the Washington Monument

Touching the head of Testudo the terrapin, the University of Maryland mascot. Apparently the football players touch Testudo's head before each game for good luck. I don't know. This statue looks much less intimidating than the official mascot photo if you ask me:

More photos to come. In the meantime, Isaac is still trying to figure out why Steve took "Boy" (his imaginary friend) with him to DC. This has been a DAILY topic of discussion. Steve offered to send him home on another plane, but Isaac decided he could stay and keep Dad company. Can you see him in any of the pictures? He's there somewhere :)
