Some State Capitols, Boston and Long Island

New Hampshire State House in Concord.  Saw a portrait of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christ Scientists, the religion that Bob was born into.

Massachusetts State House in Boston.  So much history, so many familiar names from American history.

The John F. Kennedy Library in Boston.  Also, a special exhibit on Ernest Hemingway - 90% of his papers and manuscripts are at the library.

While in Boston had lunch with my cousin Jim - good to catch up with family.

The Rhode House State House in Providence.

The State House of Connecticut in Hartford.

The Genius of Connecticut, a statue in the capitol at Hartford.  She is the symbol of the spirit of the people of Connecticut.

Sagamore, the summer White House of Theodore Rooselvelt in Oyster Bay, Long Island.  Like all presidential residences and libraries that we have seen, the history is so compelling.

You may be a little tired of state capitols - there are only three more on this phase of the tour.  Tomorrow on to Gettysburg.
