Addie stayed home with me today. Mom and Dad went to meet with a home builder at their land...I think he is going to design a house that will fit their lot. The one they had picked out would have required $14 grand worth of dirt to be hauled in...



Anyway, back to the capital!



After we left the land building, we went to the capital for our tour. We took a class photo outside on the steps, and then i had someone take one of me and Pat


When you enter the capital, you are in a large foyer, and then you go into the rotunda. The rotunda is very impressive. Lining the walls all the way around are portraits of past Governors. When you are standing in the doorway looking into the rotunda, the portrait on your right is the most recent Governor. They go all the way around to the left side. When they put up a new portrait, the one on the left side moves up to the 2nd floor and takes the first spot on the right, and all those rotate, and the last goes up to the 3rd floor, and so on. I thought that sounded like a lot of work, but it's a cool tradition. I got pictures of George and Ann...






I think these are both VERY good portraits of them...

to be continued...
