On the 16th of August, our family went to see a rare printed copy of the Declaration of Independence in Salt Lake City. The waiting in line to see it took 3 HOURS! We looked around the Capital building and saw paintings of the history of Utah and famous things that happened in Utah. One was completing the transcontinental railroad at Promontory Point. Another one was when Brigham Young came into Utah. We saw this fancy room where the furniture was from France, England, and Italy.
The floor was all hexagons so I thought it was a giant Heroscape board!
When we saw the Declaration of Independence, we could see how the ancient paper was woven, (well, it was 232 years old!), For some reason, we didn't bring a camera. We would have liked to have gotten a picture of us there.
We spent most of the day there. It was a fun day.
Until next time, Good-bye.

The Declaration is such an awesome document. You will get to study it this year in Polar Star. I got to see it back in Washington, D.C. and it was really a cool experience.
