EJ's Field Trip

EJ loves politics and American history. You might remember from this post about one of EJ's favorite books, that she became very knowledgeable about how we elect Presidents. Then, she wrote a letter to President Bush and got a letter in return! Today, she went on a field trip that she really enjoyed, a visit to the NH State House in Concord, NH. She took her camera and came home with some great photos - I thought we'd share them with you!

She really liked this display of campaign buttons:



And then, she saw this photo of President Obama standing in front of the very same display, so she took a photo of that photo...


...followed by a photo of THE VERY SPOT where President Obama must have been standing when that photo was taken. I thought this was quite amusing, and just had to put it here! :)


She also found a photo of Hillary standing in front of the display. You might remember that she was torn about Hillary's candidacy...she liked the idea of a female president, but I think she was kind of hoping that she would someday be the first female! There's still a chance, babe!


Then, they met THE GOVERNOR! Here's Governor John Lynch:

They also met our local state senator and a local state representative (who is also the grandfather of one of her friends).

The kids also got to tour the formal legislative chambers and even sit in their chairs!

I wouldn't be surprised if this girl ended up in some sort of public service role someday...!
