What car is that you ask? Well its Bumblebee of course! Yes sir, they were filming Transformers 3 right in front of the Capitol building and we got to see it all!
I am not sure what Transformer this truck is, but you can see the Transformer's signal on the tail gate! It was a HUGE truck!
This is one of the action shots they were doing. The Capitol is right behind me and the cars would zoom around the corner. It was only about 10 secs but they did this 5 or 6 times. Morgan and I were being very sneaky and watching all of this behind a bush :)
Another shot of the Capitol with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee and another car...I am going to have to watch the movies again to remember the names.So if any of you go to Transformers 3 coming to theaters later next year, be sure to watch for this scene and perhaps you will see Morgan's white legs sticking out from behind a bush :)
After this exciting event we went to the Library of Congress, another famous spot that has appeared in movies such as National Treasure 2 and books such as Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol."
This is the main reading room and you have to have a library card to go in there. However, we went on a lucky day when it was open to all public. The architecture was amazing and the ceiling and marble pillars were just spectacular.
I just showed Jake the Transformers pictures, he's jealous :) He's obsessed with Camaro's....
ReplyDeleteI just posted after your comment...but you prob won't see it...I have been thinking lately..I really wanna see DC, and what better time to do than when we have real, live living, tour guides to do it with! When do you move???
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cool! I just barely watched Transformers 1 and 2 and so I think that you are pretty cool getting to see the filming of 3! (Wait, filming? You mean Transformers aren't real? Bummer.)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the Library of Congress. It's beautiful!
