Supermodel Kate Upton, known for her Sports Illustrated and “GQ” swim suit cover photos, celebrated her 21st birthday on Monday in an unlikely venue – on Capitol Hill.

The model finally hit legal drinking age and took to the District of Columbia to party with relatives and friends.

House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)  uploaded a photo on Instagram of himself, Upton and her uncle Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) with the caption, “With Congressman Fred Upton and his niece Kate. We are celebrating Kate’s .21st Birthday. #kateupton.”

Upton fanatics celebrated all over the country with tweets from male dreamers and even some sites hosting slideshow montages to celebrate the happiest day of Kate Upton’s parents’ — and ‘Sports Illustrated’ subscription buyers’ lives — everywhere.
