Christmas at the Capitol

Monday night, we I had a ladies outing with the ladies from church. We went to a place called Loca Luna.  I met my best-friend-co-leader and we rode together.  Dinner was nice, and as we were wrapping up, it was suggested we go to the State Capitol to the manger scene and do our closing prayer and gift exchange.  Driving up on the Capitol grounds Mel (best-friend-co-leader) mentioned this was as close to the Capitol she had ever been.  My suggestion was next time she was off work with the kiddos that we all take off over there and do a self-guided tour.  We got back up to the front of the Capitol just as they were locking the doors and she commented on the pretty tree in the rotunda... We decided we would leave straight after church Wednesday night and head over and see things all decorated...
