Solons Spend Spring Break at Replica Workplace
Lawmakers old and new spent the first day of a scheduled two-week recess taking in a very familiar sight: a carbon copy of the Senate chamber designed to honor “liberal lion” Edward M. Kennedy .
Just like the real US Senate in #EMKInstitute replica chamber. Spotted on floor @SenMarkey @SenJohnMcCain pic.twitter.com/zt0JkXJ4Dp

Others felt inclined to say a few words.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., even managed to blow somebody's mind.
Mass @SenWarren says she bonded with Senator Kennedy over the plight of working families. #KennedyInstitute pic.twitter.com/JTkvqeO6U8 — Zoe Perry-Wood (@ZoePhotos) March 30, 2015
“I had no idea that @SenWarren used to be a registered Republican!” one observer broadcast via Twitter after Warren mentioned that she started out on the other side of the aisle.
