The Capital Trip Part 2

Ok, so after we saw the model of the base isolators, we went to this one spot that has models of the original Thomas Edison light bulbs. And it also has a kind of a see through glass ceiling/floor. you can kind of see through it. On the 2nd floor you can stand on it.

Next, we went to the second floor. On the way there we saw a replica of the Liberty Bell. every capital building has one in there capital building. We went to the second floor and saw all these paintings about Utah History and statues. Then we went to the 3rd floor and saw this: The Gold room, (pictured). It has stuff from France and England. What a sight!

Here is a freaky optical illusion. good bye!

Capital Trip part 1

Today I went to the Utah Capital building. It was great! While wewere going there, we saw a lady and waved to her. And when we got to the Capital the woman happened to be our tour guide! Isn't that a little freaky?

So first we saw a model of a base isolator. A base isolator is a round metal thing. It has a layer of rubber, then steel, then rubber, then steel. In the center is led that will liquify during an earthquake. (the base isolators were put in to make the Capital "earthquake-proof".)

(I'll need to finish this later. I got something I need to go to something).
