Me and my friend TJ went up to Washington DC this winter on a "Political Science Pilgrimage", since we are both Poli-Sci geeks. We visited the National Archives (Constitution and Declaration of Independence and other important documents), Library of Congress (James Madison statue), Museum of Crime & Punishment (TJ is also a Criminal Justice nerd), then on the way home we went to Montpelier (James Madison's estate) and Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's estate). We ended up with an unexpected stop in Mount Airy, NC due to a flat tire (better known as Mayberry from the Andy Griffith Show).
