Sesquicentennial Flyby
The House has been going in and out of session all day, so I’ve had a lot of free time. Earlier this afternoon I walked around the Capitol Mall and checked out the Minnesota Sesquicentennial festivities. In addition to the (admittedly poorly shot) video above, I took a whole series of pictures that you can view here.
I have to say that I was pretty impressed by the turnout. (The pictures I took didn’t really do justice to the expansive size of the crowd.) It was a perfect day for it too — sunny and gorgeous. Now if only the lawmakers can wrap things up early enough for my wife and I to be able to watch the fireworks tomorrow night.
