Baton Rouge Sightseeing

The weekend after we moved into our new home here both Jordan and my family came to visit us to see our new home. Since we were already unpacked and settled we took our guest around to see some of the sights around our new town. In the downtown area just blocks from our new home is the home of the capital of Louisiana which is the tallest capital building in the nation. pretty cool huh!

There is also a hill near the capital building that has an exact match of the Liberty Bell. The great thing is you can touch the bell and it actually has a ringer that works inside....you ask how I know that???? well my father-in-law decided to try to ring it and you should have seen his face when the bell rang so loud that they could have probably heard it 2 miles down the Mississippi river, but the funniest part was him running away from the bell watching over his shoulder to see if someone was coming.

this is the Liberty Bell look a like and that is Jordan's dad and my dad looking innocent before the ringing incident.

Here is Jordan's dad , Jordan and My Dad...aren't they handsome.
