Columbus, Ohio, November 2007







I am now writing of our most recent capitol visit, to Columbus, Ohio. We were there for another of John's conferences and most excitably were staying literally right next door to the statehouse! It was a somewhat cold and windy visit but the capitol was beautifully decorated for Christmas so that was pleasant. This capitol was kind of confusing to enter and explore because there are two domes. And, the domes are decorated very differently. One is very classic with paintings, like many of the capitols. The other dome was painted with a simple light pink and green, reminded me of a babe's room.


There was a huge open space where you walked in between the domes that seemed like it used to be out-doors, which was very refreshing and amazing to walk through, espesially when it was desolate, dark at night, but lit up with a beeming Christmas tree.


There was also a replica of the city created with leggos, which added some humor to the house as well.




More soon.
