Our family went on a field trip to the State Capital. It is set on top of a hill just as the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Most of the buildings mimic the Washington, D.C. Very similar indeed. I think George Washington is memorialized possibly more than he is in Washington, D.C. He is everywhere, on door nobs, in the hallways, on stone fences, on the floor, etc. Check out the photos.We wanted to show our children where the laws are made for our state. I couldn't help myself by singing the School House Rock song, "I'm just a bill, on capital hill."
Since our country is in a political upheaval, and our congressmen and our government have let the American people down and they all lack leadership and values. I felt it was necessary to teach the boys, " they do have a voice and their vote does count." And we can continue with the hope. My quote for the day "The future is pregnant with Nobel Acheivement in the Whitehouse."
(Even though the electoral college decides who is president, and all 11 votes for Washington have already been cast) Voting no longer is about the party, it's about who can get the job done with integrity. We read some information on each of the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and the kids helped us decided who we should vote for, voting was a family affair.
