We drove into Dover on Monday night, about 3 hours after Gettysburg. We got there a day early so that we could spend Tuesday exploring the base and surrounding area. Delaware is the First State, so we decided to find the state capital and check things out. I've seen a lot of state capitals (Like 10+ I think. I don't know, I just love them!), but nothing like this! We took a super-interesting tour of The State House. It was built in 1792 (wow!) and features an old courtroom and legislative chambers, as well as paintings. It is a beautiful building, totally awe-inspiring.
We also saw the currently used Legislative Building (the new capital) but didn't go in because they were swearing in for the new session.
They also have a replica of the Liberty Bell. Very cool.
One day of exploring was so exciting. I can't wait to see more!
