A view of the rotunda from the underground visitors center
They say this is the most accurate depiction of what Lincoln looked like

The Rotunda
The old Senate room
Each state gets to donate two statues of important figures from their state. Here we are with our very own Brigham Young. Philo T. Farnsworth is the other Utah statue. A prophet and the guy who invented television. :)
Freedom - the exact replica of the statue on top of the Capitol
I headed back to the hotel refreshed and ready for our next activity...the best one was yet to come!
