Hi Everyone! Seattle is supposed to be the rainiest city in the US, but our rain is cold and drizzly. On our way to the Capital, it started raining like crazy. The drops were as big as marbles, and the wind created a whirl of water. It was so humid that we were all sweating in our coats. As we got ready to leave Union Station on our way to the Capital, some people came in completely drenched. They looked like they had gone in the shower with their clothes on!!! The Capital was really cool to be inside. Did you know that each state donates a different statue to represent someone famous from their area? We weren’t able to see the Senate and House in session because it was President’s Day Week, but we got to see where they meet. When we left, we walked into a hurricane! (OK, it wasn't really a hurricane;it was really windy). The wind whipped our hair and clothes everywhere, and our class picture in front of the capital showed us trying to smile with our hair in front of our eyes! We were all relieved when we got back to the parking lot to make our way back to the 4H Center. I miss you guys, but it’s really awesome here! See you all soon!
