More interior of Union Station; contrast-enhanced which is why the pixels show up weird.

As much as it is possible, we had a great time visiting The Supremes today. I wish we could've spent more time there but that wasn't possible considering the time that we got there.
After brunching at Union Station, we got to the Supreme Court Building by 11 but had to wait in line through security, equivalent to that of airports these days, until 11:30. Then we had to wait in line to get into the session; there was a school group there so we were only allowed five minutes to listen to the session. BUT, after the session ended (and the Justices left the room, along with the plaintiff and defendant) we got an earful on how to ensure that we got to sit in more of the session the next time that we come into town to see them. And there will be another visit!
On to the Mayflower for a lunch of munchies (appetizers) and gabbing. Lots of fun, of course and three hours later, we went on home by way of the Metro (a local subway system). I was actually home by 5pm and, as can be imagined, after that much walking, my knee was killing me but Brian helped me get the laundry downstairs. I got that sorted and started and laid down to rest my knee for awhile. That helped a lot.
Now, it is time to sort my vitamins for the week and get ready for another day at the grindstone. I'll have the pictures up tomorrow night-- only took a few inside of Union Station and outside of the Supreme Court but you'll be able to see that we had a nice time and great weather.
I must bid you adieu, however-- a few things to do before bedtime. Take care and have a great evening.

Guess where we (my co-workers and I) are going tomorrow? The Supreme Court of these-here United States!!! It is our quarterly outing and we're going to go to brunch at the Centre Cafe in Union Station first and then on to the Supreme Court. They are hearing cases in the afternoon and we're hoping to get seats-- since there's nothing particularly controversial, it shouldn't be a problem right now. Then, after session is finished, we're going to go to The Mayflower Hotel (yes, as in "The Mayflower Madame") for a few drinks and some munchies. Should be a nice day and certainly interesting!
