Gnome Dome and Last Day on the Hill


Today was my last day on the hill and actively working for congress. It was a great last day. I went up the 300 steps to the top of the dome, this was extremely cool but very nerve wrecking as I looked over the lip of the dome into the rotunda. After the dome tour we took our photos with the congressman in the rotunda of the Cannon building. It was a very great last day in the office.

The Dome on top of the Capitol.

The National Mall from the Dome

There is actually a dome inside of another dome and this is the framework in between the two of them.

A little closer view on the painting at the top of the dome

The look on the Frieze of American History

The 300 stairs up to the top of the dome

The view down on the Rotunda from atop

The Cannon office building where I worked for Congressman Guthrie

Yep, I am still alive... This is me at top the Dome
