Madison

Yesterday my family and I went down to Madison to see our state senator, Sheila Hardsdorf get sworn in. That was a lot of fun! Actually it was the first time any of my family had been down to see the capital, so we made a day of it. While we were down there we took a tour of the capitol, and visited our stare representative, Andy Lamb. We also saw and got to shake hands with our terribly liberal Governor, James Doyle. One interesting fact about our capitol building is it has the 4th largest dome in the world (measured by volume)and it was built in the early 1900s with marble from six different countries, some of which is irreplaceable owing to its value. It was a great experience which all of us enjoyed! We now look forward to our trip to Washington D.C. later this winter.
