Spring Break

It's so fun to go to places that you haven't been to, but it's so very nice to come back home!

This is one of the many monument/memorials on the Capital grounds. This one is dedicated to Education. The one in the pink is Amanda. LOL!!!

This is Lyndon B. Johnson's ranch in Stonewall, Texas. Right now you can't go into the house but you can take a bus tour around the ranch. LBJ rebuilt his childhood home there. The land is beautiful and it's still a working ranch. He also had a landing strip built on the land. Airforce One landed there once, the landing was fine but take off was another story. According to the tour guide, Airforce One never attempted that landing again. The guide we had was also a historian. We enjoyed this part of our trip. I thought at the end of the tour we were all going to have to stand up and sing "Glory, Hallelujah". You could definitely tell what party the tour guide would be voting for in the election.

Here is the Texas State Capital. The grounds are beautiful! And of course, we HAD to take many pictures.
This photo is taken from the newly renovated part of the capital. It's underground but the sky light makes it not feel underground. Does that make sense? anyway...
I'm probably the only one who thinks this was cool. The hinges in the capital look like this.
We took the tour of the Capital and went into both the House and Senate Chambers. If you look closely at the lights they spell TEXAS.
I was really surprised to see this and couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a shot of The Ten Commandments.

Thanks for all the prayers while we were gone. We had a wonderful time. Now it's back to normal, well maybe not normal but back to out routine and gardening!!
