This morning we started off the day by Erin, Kevin and I
taking the BLUE train into DC to meet Melissa and Dad who got up super early to
get us tickets for the BEP. What is the BEP you ask it is the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. They make most ALL of the United States of America’s paper
money! We can’t take photos inside of the BEP so I don’t have too many to share
but I do have a few. It was awesome! We got to see how all the money is made
from start to finish! We also got to see what the new $100.00 bill looked like.
However they have not started to printing them yet, today they were printing
hundreds, LOTS and LOTS of them. I saw more money today then I will ever make
in my life.

Can you take a guess how much money is here.
Hint - Its all in 10.00 bills.

Are you loving the Metro? I used to take the Red line almost everywhere I went, though I did take green and yellow for one class (I think). Don't think I took blue very often. Fantastic public transit system.
