--Eat a good breakfast but don't drink too much! (It's a long ride and we aren't planning bathroom stops. This one is for moms and dads and our morning coffee too!)
--Wear comfy shoes, a nice outfit, a warm coat, gloves, and a hat.
--Pack a healthy lunch, at least 2 snacks, and a drink. (NO NUTS!!) Use disposable containers, please.
--You will carry your own food, drink, and book/DS/iTouch/camera. As always, you bring things at your own risk. Every child is responsible for his/her own belongings.
--Radios, headphones, tape recorders, chewing gum are not allowed in the Capitol Building. They prefer that we not bring backpacks.
