Attached are a number of pictures from the competition and sightseeing in nearby Baltimore and Washington DC. Note the pictures with various members of the KU National Championship basketball team. We had a capitol tour scheduled through Pat Roberts office on the day and time the team was at the capitol for a reception. We got to attend and the kids were thrilled!!!
