A Capital day at the capitol


Today we had an outing full of Boise adventures. We started at Edwards greenhouses where we watched a painting class and Amy showed us how to moonwalk.


We tried out the adirondack chairs for as long as we could get away with it.

We bought some hyacinths and then headed over to the co-op for lunch. Rob had a burrito (of course), and Amy and I hit up the lunch bar. And the cookies.

Then we walked over to the statehouse to tour around.


It's very pretty close up.


Looking down under the dome is a cool open rotunda.

Amy liked shouting YooHoo!! at everyone below.

Inside the dome. How can I get to those little stairs up there? I really really want to.

We checked out the house side which was all blue.


Even the doorknobs have the state seal on them. Cool!


This is the gallery of the senate side.  All red. 

This is a funny door in the basement marked "lobbyists" but it has this huge bank vault outer door. I don't get it, but I think it's funny.


This is outside the statehouse. It's just a modern office building but it reflected the building nicely.
