Yesterday, after 30 months of inside and outside renovation of our State Capitol building, we were able to go to the re-opening ceremonies! We froze our little behinds off outside the capitol steps, but it was a pretty neat experience. There aren't too many changes that we noticed, it was mainly electrical, plumbing, and refinishing that was done with all our tax dollars. Still was a pretty sight to see...and we even got to mett and greet with the Govenor! Another celebrity to check off my list:)
I remember looking up at the huge ceiling every year when my Dad came to Boise for Army summer camp and we came to visit the capitol. Still is a sight to see- you can't totally see but ther are tiny stars on the very top. The kids were pretty bummed we couln't get to the stars:(
The very lovely first lady!
And the big man himself- very friendly guy:) Too bad I chose to look like a blimp in glasses on this momentous occasion! Way to go Melissa!

We were in Boise on Saturday going to the temple with Ryan's sister, and we were going to stop by the capitol after! But we were all so tired from driving, and I had 5 inch heels on.... hehe... darn! We might have got to see you!
Wow, a pic with the Gov. himself and his lovely wife too. I wanna live in Boise. Glad to see you blogging again.
