Day 2 we got up early and had a great breakfast of bacon and eggs and other stuff. It was the same exact breakfast as we had the day before. The only difference was I started chewing on bacon and all of a sudden I felt a pop in my molar on the left side. I was a little scared but there really wasn't any pain. I could tell that something was wrong though and the tooth felt like it was on a hinge. I went up to my room and shined my phone into my mouth and this is what I saw. Gross. It only hurt if I accidentally chewed on it. I was able to text Teresa and since it was a 2 hour time zone difference I had to wait till almost noon eastern time to get ahold of the dentist. He finally called when we were eating lunch. We were in one of those giant food court type lunch places. I got some burritos at Taco Bell because I only wanted soft food. He told me to get some superglue and to try to bond it as much as possible until I got back home.

We detoured first thing that morning to a souvenir store and I bought a replica of the Declaration of Independance and the girls got a few things as well.
Our first stop was the Capitol building which, as you can see, is under construction. It was a fabulous tour. An interesting note is a couple days after we were inside a gunman was shot in the very area we had been at. We saw a video about E Pluribus Unum, Out of Many, One, which is the motto of the US. The building is very intricate as well as the Library of Congress. I took lots of photos. The Library of Congress had astounding architecture and great details in their paintings.
