{All In a Day} North Carolina State Capitol + President Andrew Johnson's Birthplace - Raleigh, NC

After spending the morning exploring the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, since we were already in Raleigh, the capital city of North Carolina, we decided to walk the short distance over to the state capitol building.  In addition to learning about the U.S. Presidents and visiting sites related to them, B has gotten very interested visiting state capitol buildings and (in his words) "running up the steps to the top", so being literally just steps away, we walked over and took some pictures on the grounds...

Lastly, on the way out of town, we stopped by the actual building where Andrew Johnson was born, which now stands in Mordecai Historic Park...
