I took a casual glance at google maps the night before, and decided I would try to make my way downtown without any other kind of help. It worked, I navigated to the Capitol all by my self.
The Capitol Building is gorgeous
I walked through the quiet halls, lights were on in the offices, my footsteps echoing against marble floors, at least I think they were marble ;) There's a kind of museum on the first floor.
The best part was looking at the painted ceilings, the windows, the architecture.
There are gardens surrounding the exterior of the building, and a cute little shopping district that surrounds the square. I did get lost leaving downtown. I finally gave up and put the GPS on, only to find out I was going in the way wrong direction. So thankful for technology!
I spent the rest of the day at the Capitol Mall, yup that's right a shopping mall. Found a few sales and made a few purchases. It was a good day.
This Wisconsin native is having a good time dipping her toes into the state she's been transplanted to.
