The State Capitol

Its funny, there are many great things to do with children in Sacramento--the train museum, Old Town, the zoo... We spent the morning exploring the Capitol and Anthony seemed to really enjoy it. We started off in Capitol Park. There were trees and flowers to explore and Anthony was particularly fascinated by the statues. To be quite precise, he wanted to know why they weren't moving like they did in the show the day before.

Then Anthony spotted the Capitol building and thought it was a castle. So we went inside. He saw a statue in the rotunda. He thought it might be Sleeping Beauty, but the guard inside confirmed it was actually Queen Isabella of Spain. We climbed the stairs to get closer to the top of the dome and then briefly joined a tour group. On the way out we stopped by Governor Brown's office to visit the grizzly bear standing guard. (It took awhile for Anthony to work up the courage to touch the bear.)

After Anthony was done in the Capitol building we headed back to the hotel for more swimming!
