H-Burg

Derek took the day off on Friday and I only had a half day so we spontaneously decided to go and check out Harrisburg. We took a tour of the capital building and I thought it was fascinating. Being from Texas and California, Derek and I know nothing about the history of Pennsylvania. The building itself is gorgeous and the paintings, statues, and symbolism in the architecture are all incredible.





This is a view of the inside of the beautiful rotunda.


After leaving the capitol we headed toward the Susquehanna River and walked by it for a while. It was fun to see it all frozen over. I haven't seen anything like that since my mission when we walked across the frozen river in one of my areas to a little island out in the middle of it.



On our way home we stopped by the HUMONGOUS Bass Pro Shops at the mall and spent quite a while there just walking around admiring all of their neat stuff. Then we found the coolest part of the store (at least for 9-year olds...and us!) You put 50 cents in this machine and you get 25 shots at plenty of various targets. We both had a good time! It was a fun way to end our great afternoon in Harrisburg.
