The kids and I went on a road trip Sunday afternoon....we had a great time in Jefferson City to the capitol. Hannah enjoyed it most, she wants to live in the capitol building, she is silly. It is a beautiful site as far as capitols go , I know they all are big and pretty but this one is something special.
"Ideally situated atop a bluff overlooking the Missouri River, this eye-catching domed structure was erected in the period 1912-1917. It houses the Governor's office, General Assembly, and most of the ceremonial offices of the elected officials. Worthy of special mention are the bronze doors, reputed as the widest cast since the Roman era, and the grand stairway 30' wide, the widest in the world. "
The widest in the WORLD??? That's kind of hard for me to believe but I guess I do since it is written on the postcard Katie bought.
So the children LOVED going on our "Missouri Adventure", that's what we call it when we drive and go somewhere new, and we don't really know where we're going! I am proud of myself for setting out on my own without Lee, just me and my little map....and I actually found what I was looking for. Okay, so it is the capitol of the state and has a huge oversized dome jutting into the sky but still, I found it!!!
......I even parallel parked!!!!!
I will post some pics as soon as blogger.com gets back in working order and allows me to, they must be having issues today
