Yesterday Julie and I took the kids to Topeka. We met up with her mom and left for lunch, where we met up with her aunt and uncle. After lunch we went to the capitol building. That is a pretty cool building. It's the third tallest capital building (Illinois and Texas are taller. Interesting how the nation's capital is small in comparison). We took the tour, which was really informational. The building is under restoration/rebuilding so I didn't get to see the building in it's entirety. I swear I never get to see landmarks without scaffolding. A funny moment that happened: Julie and I were looking at the picture of state senators and I noticed that one of them looked REALLY young (Garret Love). As we continued on the tour we got to the Senator room where a bridal party was taking pictures. Upon further leaning over the banister I looked at Julie and said Holy cow! Is that Garret Love?? Sure enough- it was. No one else knew who he was so I sounded super smart when I said who was down there. Too bad that was short live because I had no clue who his constituents were or anything. When we got home we looked him up- Youngest Senator ever!!! He is only 23! After we finished the tour (the Governor is a weird dude: his decorations include stuffed prairie chickens and a buffalo head) we said good bye to Julie's mom and Belle (she is staying with her MiMi) we headed home. All in all- it was a good day!
Oh, and in case you're wondering: Apparently Garret Love had a great time at his wedding last night and they are now headed to the Dominican Republic (according to his twitter feed on his senator page that I had to look at to see how old he was).
