State House Field Trip

I got to chaperone Maddy's field trip to the State House today and it was great! I learned so much! Like that the official Seal of the State House features a "Teagle" (which is a hybrid of a turkey and and eagle and it basically came about because Benjamin Franklin was extraordinarily bossy!) And that Massachusetts created the first public school system.



Maddy and her friend Wiam in the Senate Reading Room, our first stop on the tour.



There were so many beautiful spaces!



But I think Nurse's Hall was my favorite.



The tour ended with a talk by Speaker DeLeo in the House Chamber.





It was a great day!
