Madison Wisconsin–The State Capitol

We had a very easy drive of less than two hours
but first, we need to do a little motor home maintenance.
New House Batteries at Camping World
may as well stop postponing this little chore. . .
Dave discovered that we were passing right by Camping World
on our way to the RV park in Madison. . .
and since the “house batteries” we needed to replace
were the same price there as other places he had checked,
may as well stop by and let them take care of it. . .
Capitol Dome - State Capitol at Madison Wisconsin
and while they did that
we may as well go tour the State House. . .right. . .

Beautiful Architecture - as seen from the Trumpeters Balcony - State Capitol at Madison Wisconsin
or the trumpeter’s balcony located on Level 4. . .
where all the musicians reigned,
while the singers performed from Level 2. . .

Capitol Dome - Observation Balcony located right below the statues - State Capitol at Madison Wisconsin
and although we had been told by a blog reader (the best folks ever)
we may not have found out about taking the elevator to the 4th floor,
and climbing 46 more steps, and 11 spiral staircase steps
to the outside observation deck. . .SCORE!
