Aaron's holiday in Sacramento has almost come to an end... the day before he left, he was taken for a tour in downtown State house.
According to the wikipedia... the California State Capitol is home to the government of California. The building houses the bicameral state legislature and the office of the governor. The grounds of the capitol form the Capitol Park. Located in Sacramento, the Neoclassical structure was completed between 1861 and 1874

Hi Claire. You must be busy travelling here and there. Haha.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow! The State Capital looked amazing but inside, it was even more magnificent. Love the high ceiling.
There's a song about this city by Middle of tthe Road, the group that sang Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep.
