We decided to start our last day with one more walk up Capitol Hill to try to visit the Supreme Court again.
We got in line at 815, and this time it worked - we got in! The security process took about an hour and after some more waiting, we got to hear the case, Nvidia v. Ohman. The subject matter of the case was a bit dry (required specificity of document descriptions...) but it was fascinating to see the Court in action.
After, we went back to hotel to grab our bags and check out. We took the Metro to DCA to check our bags, then went back to the Pentagon for a tour. This was a very entertaining visit led by junior officers from several branches that taught us about various facts about the building, highlighted by a visit to a memorial for victims of the 9/11 attack there.
After grabbing a late lunch in Crystal City, we went to the airport for for our flight home.
We bused back to the Cape and were home before 10! What a fabulous trip with a wonderful group of fellow adventurers!
