Well, the trip downtown was so much fun! We visited the capital and did the walking tour. Well the abbreviated version cause the little ones were slightly restless. It was a really cool building. I would have taken pictures to share with you but I forgot my camera. Very sad day. The architecture was amazing. It was old and most of the building has original woodwork in the offices and meeting rooms. It was a neat piece of history.
We walked around downtown and visited a Veterans Memorial Park thing. It had neat fountains, and some monuments dedicated to fallen soldiers. And of course beautiful green trees.
We also walked down (and up) Broadway. This street is what they call a "live music venue." Almost every store had some sort of live music. Unfortunately most of these restaurants were bars, so we didn't go in. We visited an old fashioned ice cream parlor - that was fun. They had the old fashioned glasses, and even had a candy section. I wanted to get something so badly, but I didn't because I knew the little kids would want some and they were not able to get any by wishes of Mom.
I wanted to take a backstage tour of this really cool theatre downtown, but we didn't have time, and it was kinda expensive. Maybe I will start saving up for a road trip down here with my husband and we can do some of these other things!!
For lunch we ate at Panera Bread. I was super excited when we saw this place. I have heard stories about these places, and wanted to experience it for myself. One word review: delicious! The sandwich was delicious, the bread was delicious, and the smoothie was delicious. About the Smoothie: Low fat and delicious. Creamy and smooth and cold, and perfect flavor. Did I mention Delicious??
All in all it was a great day. We were all very tired at the end of it all but we had fun. And did I mention the Delicious smoothie???
