Mississippi Capitol


It's pretty clear that we plan our vacations around our Capitol visits... we are working on our goal to get Ben and Carly to every Capitol building in our country by the summer Ben graduates high school.   It's such a great way to get them all over our great country!  Plus, we love to travel.  Hmmm, wonder where we got that trait from?!?!  

So, The Capitol of Mississippi... it's in Jackson.


... and sports the traditional dome.  With gold eagle on top.  


Cute McGregor's.




We loved the grounds, and the cool artifacts that are displayed there.


So, anyone who's been around for a while might see what McGregor's see in the picture below...


Empty cement for Statues.  Oh, come on!  They are just ASKING for some new statues for their grounds!




Capitol buildings are GREAT places to see some cool architecture in our country...


love the dome



Blindfolded Justice looms over the governor's office


Lot's of stained glass...


My little family, across the base of the dome


The ceiling inside the House of Representatives (it's the same in the Senate)




Pretty happy to find a pink trash can for Breast Cancer... 


Ryan wanted to be sure to get a picture of our car parked super close to the capitol, since we don't have any pictures of our car this close to a Capitol Building... the visitors spots were nice and close.
