| Four girls from my program were sent on a training grant--we decided to go early Saturday morning to sight-see! |
 |
| The Washington Monument is currently closed to go to the top of it, but it was still fun to see! |
 |
| We're thinking there are 50 flags around it |
 |
| I found Louisiana at the WWII monument... there were so many veterans there! |
 |
| A star for each fallen soldier |
 |
| Another view |
 |
| The MLK monument was pretty incredible... |
 |
| I wish we could all better live (and live better) by his words... |
 |
| I really felt God here! |
 |
| The MLK monument is incredible... but the Lincoln Memorial is just... so powerful! |
 |
| We did about 12 miles of walking this day... but I finally got to see the White House! |
 |
| I apparently didn't take ANY pictures at the conference except this one... whoops? But this is Secretary of Ag Tom Vilsack... he was an awesome speaker! |
 |
| Me and my Louisiana Dietitians in front of the Capitol! |
 |
| Inside of one of the Congressional Buildings |
 |
| As part of the conference, we had a day on the hill to advocate for some issues particularly relevant to dietitians! Here we are with Congressman Dr. Fleming of Louisiana |
 |
| And here with Congressman Landry of Louisiana |
 |
| And here with my Congressman! Representative Alexander |
 |
| And there ends my trip to Washington, DC! |
Haha! I'm guessing Congressman Landry is the one from Acadiana? I can tell because you are standing oh so close to him :)
