Unexpected Gem: Library of Congress

I didn’t plan to go here on our DC trip because I didn’t know anything about it. 🤷‍♀️ Now that you’ve met, it’ll be on your road trip list!🥳 I think i loved the Library of Congress even more because I had no expectations. I didn’t know about: The Gutenberg Bible Thomas Jefferson’s library The viewing room of the stacks The architecture The paintings The colors… Even the floor is beautiful. It’s the Sistine Chapel of Washington, DC. Head to the Capitol. Take your guided tour. Leave time for the museum. Eat lunch at the Capitol Cafe. Then head to the Library. 👉👉Don’t rush either of these beautiful places. We were only in the area for our last minute reserved tickets for the Capitol Building. And yet, this place turned out to be my favorite sight in DC. Did I mention that it’s just a giant library? What is there that this Nerd Mom and her nerdy homeschool kids wouldn’t love? 👉Don’t share this reel. Don’t want too many people to know that the Library of Congress is this amazing. Fewer crowds that way. 😉 . . . . @visitwashingtondc
