Day 22: Tour your Town

In my neverending quest to find cheap/free entertainment that are mommy/baby friendly, I accidentally stumbled upon a gem. While visiting with a new friend this morning, she mentioned she was taking her baby on a tour of the State Capital. After the (free!) lunch she kindly shared with baby and me, she asked us to accompany them. Having less than nothing to do today, we agreed! YAY an adventure!!

While the tour needed a bit of work - it was only the second time anyone had given it - it was a fun and (free!) way of spending the day. Even the (free!) parking was awesome, I made the cut-off by one minute...probably less. The tour was a new Halloween version of the normal one, all about the deaths that had occured at the Capital building. They could have made it a bit more interesting, except according to the tour guide they weren't allowed to talk about:

a. Any suicides
b. Exaggerate in any way
c. Any ghost stories that are "unresolved"

Leave it to the government to be concerned about unresolved ghost stories...
