Jeff is on a roll and continues to plan an outside-the-house-activity each month for the family to do. Several months ago he requested tickets to take a tour of the Capitol. Our date to go was on Saturday, September 12th. It was a rainy day, but we had a delightful time. I felt proud we were taking advantage of what this beautiful city, which is practically in our backyard, has to offer. Unfortunately, the Capitol is under construction and the scaffolding on the outside continues in the inside too. But this just means we will have to go back in another year when the construction is completed.
I'm pretty sure I've never done the tour of the Capitol before. We had this tour guide who thought she was funnier than she actually was. Her jokes were pretty corny, but she certainly knew her stuff! She was able to point out the statues from every state the people in our group was from and give background info on all of them.

| The statue from Florida! |
Three cheers for Jeff for coming up with an idea, that involved something we all enjoyed. Plus it was educational. A win-win in my book.
