just a short little walk....IN THE RAIN!

Mr. Lang & MiaOne last shot of the capital
tired feet..

The Capital

Mia on the capital steps..Just a plain old lamp post made of gold.

Nothings to good for our elected servants.

His desk is in the time out corner...in the very back.


This is whose desk I sat at..



Green means raise the taxes now
and
Red means raise the taxes later.
Yellow means I need someone to come and kiss my ass.

Listening to someone talk....without a mic...and that's

why I don't know who it was??

This is whose desk Mia sat at..
Mia on the floor of the

California State Assembly

The California Senate Floor...

Something we pay for but will never have...coverage this good.

The California State Assembly Floor

THE BEST!

The safe....look at the date..

First you go to the BILL ROOM and

give them all of your money... they even have private rooms to cry in...

The DRUM is in the basement rotunda...

I don't know what it is because

I didn't have time to even read this sign..

2nd floor rotunda look out.

Mia and the California Bear

arriving at the capital..

It was raining so we did not spend too much time outside...

on the train..

By 6:30 AM we were riding the rails, but some

of us were not totally awake yet..

6:00 AM

Two very excited kids ready

for the train ride to Sacramento.

This is what we will spend the next 3 hours on...
The girls from Mr. Lang's class

447

447...that's how many pictures Mia and I took

on yesterdays train trip up to Sacramento.

We woke at 4

left home at 6

left Fresno on a train at 6:30

got on a bus at 9

got to the California State Capital at 10

walked and walked and walked for 4 hours

and then we walked some more.

We visited the Railroad Museum and the

California Gold Rush Museum in Old Town Sacramento.

And to finish it off we ran into a candy store.

Sadly, that is the only spot where we forgot to

take pictures....but just about every other moment

of the day was documented...thoroughly!

More pictures coming soon...lots more!
