1600 Pennsylvania Avenue



Today I got myself a tour of the White House. It was beautiful inside, but all in all the tour was a little boring. It's basically just a walk-through of the first floor. It was cool to see where certain things happened and certain events were held, though. But let's just say it's nothing compared to a tour of the Capitol building given by yours truly. After that we visited the Crime and Punishment museum. It goes through different time periods and different methods of punishment and things like that. It was a really fun museum. I learn things like the fact that Al Capone decorated his cell in prison, which is one of the reasons he was transferred to Alcatraz. I also learned that a major con artist traveled the country passing himself off as different things...and getting paid! He forged a law degree from Harvard and got a job at Louisiana. He also passed as a doctor...and the most interesting part...a professor at BYU. He worked there for a whole semester before moving on to his next scheme. Isn't that crazy!? Haha I would have loved to be in his class. It would be so surprising when you saw your professor go to prison. As you can see from the pictures above, I was arrested and went to jail. But don't worry, I escaped through a hole in the wall. Like Michael Scoffield. And then we got married.
