Dad left early for Arkansas early this morning, while we slept in ‘til about 8:00. After we had eaten another hotel breakfast, (close to the heart of us kids because of all the sugary stuff never allowed in our house), we set off on another adventure. We were going to take a tour of the Capitol today, but the tour was cancelled. It is really too bad, but we can still see the Visitor’s Center. We were almost there, when Mom and Malachi started walking faster. I asked them what was wrong, and Mom said that Malachi needed to go to the bathroom. “Really badly!” he replied, hopping on one foot. Mom told me that they were going to go ahead, and that we should meet them just inside the door. “Just stick with Anna” Mom told us as they hurried ahead.
We had no trouble finding the visitor’s center, but the problem was, they wouldn’t let any, and I mean any food or drink inside, and they had strict security to enforce it. We did not know what to do, as Anna’s bag was full of snacks that we had been eating. We told the security of our plight, but she only said that we could eat it or throw it away. We could not eat all of it, and did not want to throw it away, so we called Mom for a solution. She came back outside, and helped us distribute the food among hungry people who had finished their tours, the squirrels, and ourselves. This done, we were finally ready for the Capitol Visitors Center. It was full of interesting exhibits, We rode the Metro to the Capitol, admired the scenery, and then went inside. It is more like a museum than just a visitors center! First, in the hall, there are statues of famous people from different states, some of them really well done, and then there are two wings, the first being a large room holding a replica of “Freedom”, the statue on the top of the dome.
