Unable to do much outside due to the brutal winter temperatures, we decided to yet again take a tour of the US Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

This is the east side of the Capitol, less famous than the often-photographed front of the building but across the street from the Supreme Court and Library of Congress. It’s also where the visitors center is located. It would have been nice without the traffic cones, but that’s just the way things are these days.
