Miss America 2011 Teresa Scanlan is in town this week, and, lucky us, we got to meet her.

The 18-year-old Nebraska native said she comes to Washington, D.C., a lot.

And, when she is here, she said she always stays at the St. Gregory Luxury Hotel & Suites, grabs a Georgetown Cupcake, and makes sure to dine at Cafe Milano.

But her absolute favorite part of the District, she said, is Capitol Hill (which is where we met up with her -- at a reception with Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, for the International Duke of Edinburgh's Award).

After her reign, Teresa said she plans to attend law school, to become a judge -- and then, she'd like to get into politics.

She also told us that she considers herself a "constitutionalist" and that she would vote for the GOP candidate that supports the U.S. Constitution the most.

Wait a minute, does that mean Miss America 2011 leans Republican?

You know how ... Miss America's hair always looks perfect on TV? Well, Teresa's hair is perfect in person. We have total hair envy. And, not only does she have great hair, she is the youngest woman to be named Miss America (Teresa was 17 when she was crowned).

Tiger Woods is MIA at the US Open today in Washington, D.C., today.

And, hey -- isn't that Caddy Steve Williams, lugging Australian Golfer Adam Scott's clubs? Uh oh. Tiger's caddy be playin' some Tiger game?

Oh, how happy they were.
