Another amazing place that was a "must see" while in Texas was the State Capitol. It was absolutely gorgeous. We spent our first day in Austin just walking around downtown when we stumbled on the Capitol. We definitely made a point to come back the next day so we could check out the grounds and the inside. There were so many details all over the grounds and the building that represented Texas pride.
[FUN FACT] There is a law in Texas that prohibits any structures or buildings from being built that would interfere with the view of the Capitol building.
Here are some of my favorite photos of the Capitol building--we had amazing weather while we were there!

Open
This week's Photo Friday challenge is "Open." I decided to use a picture that I took last week while I was visiting Austin, TX. We did all sorts of touristy things while we were there, including checking out the State Capitol. No offense to Indiana's, but wow, was this place beautiful.
One of the things I loved the most about the Capitol building in Texas was all of the detail. From the doornobs to the chairs, Texas Pride could be seen everywhere. This picture not only shows one of my favorite details in the building, but I also think it fits the "open" challenge well. Hopefully I will be posting some more of my favorite pictures from the trip soon.
