Today we started out from the house and walked into a beautiful Sunny day . We decided to take advantage of the great weather and strolled along the capital on our way to the American Indian museum. The building that houses the museum is something very special. The contents are even more special and we were all very impressed. We started on the top floor and worked our way all the way down to the 1st floor looking at almost every single exhibit. Then it was off to lunch!

The craftsmanship on these glass pieces is amazing
