I took lots of pictures. I take pictures of everything.
A beautiful shot of the capital building.
First we went to the Pioneer museum across the street.
Where this beautiful stained glass window is in the room where we met to hear all the rules about visiting the museum. The only creepy thing about it is that their faces are grey.
I was given Kaleb and three of his friends to look out for.
They thought the guns were cool.
And the swords.
Ship art.
Horse-drawn carriages.
Covered wagons.
Fire wagon!
Fire hat!
Old-timey toys.
A giant Bible.
This table is really cool. It was made by W. W. Flanigan. Over 100,000 pieces of 248 varieties of wood were used in its creation. Also no stain or paint was used. These pieces are all the natural color of the wood.
A midwife.
Tiny shoes are so cute!
The first room you walk into after the lobby.
A school room.
After that museum, we walked up the street to the east side of the capital building to eat lunch by a statue. So I took some pictures of the capital building as I walked.
This is where we ate lunch.
This statue is more of a monument to Utah history, really. It's also a fountain, so after eating, the kids played in it.
And I got bored waiting and took a bunch of pictures of scenery.
I will spare you most of them.
Kaleb!
There are two lion statues guarding the Capital building doors.
This one is named Integrity.
A replica of the Liberty bell is inside.
Murals depicting Utah history are on the walls near the ceiling.
Statues in the rotunda.
The dome of the capital building.
A statue of Brigham Young. Our tour guide described him as not being very nice, but mostly out of necessity of getting the pioneers across the plains alive. Somebody had to tell everyone what to do.
The Governor's office.
He wasn't there.
These are what make the building earthquake proof.
The view from the Capital building.
It was a really beautiful day. The clouds were gorgeous.
And now, for your listening pleasure:
