the capitol

for the last few years our capitol has been undergoing a massive renovation. every time we would drive by eli would ask, "is it done yet? can we go in now?" nope. for three years. nope. but it's finally open and wow, they did a really good job. it is beautiful. lyla kept saying "pretty."
we went on a saturday, so there were only a few people touring and all the offices were closed. this was nice because the kids could run around without disturbing anyone. eli was sad to leave.


eli and grandma

the kids laying on the bottom floor looking up at the rotunda 4 floors above
the fam thought it was a good idea

the view

lyla peeping out the window onto capitol blvd. eli checking all the doors to see if the were locked.

that's adam on the left looking very senatorial

lyla looking at the map trying to figure out how to get to more stairs...

and my favorite part of the building - the vault. if you can't read the the writing on the door, it says "lobbyists."

  1. I love the capitol building. You guys are experts at having fun. My favorite picture is one of all of you lying down.
    We're going to have to go again on day like that.
