Yeah, Congress, go take a hike.
Well, three members of the House of Representatives did just that yesterday. Two Democrats (from Hawaii and Texas) and a Republican (from Illinois) spent part of their day on the Billy Goat Trail on the Maryland side of D.C.
You see, it was an unusual day. Congressmen usually aren't around on Sunday _ many fly home every weekend _ but the politics surrounding a looming government shutdown kept them here.
The Washington Post has a nice story about it, including a photo of the three Congressional hikers. (Hey, they look like real people!)
Now it's Monday. Back to your regularly scheduled government shutdown ...
Of course, a better way to get away from D.C. politics is to sign up for one of our hiking trips. We're going to Vermont, Switzerland, Nevada and Virginia in 2014. See you there.
