Spring is our busiest time of year for school tours and the season is in full swing. I truly love working with the kids. The first picture is of one of my school groups sitting on the steps of the state Capitol building. This building has been donned a national historical landmark. Jefferson Davis was sworn into office as the only President of the Confederacy on the top of these marble stairs.. At the bottom of the Capitol’s steps, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech that led the way for black citizens to vote in the United States. Our city is full of rich history and I truly enjoy my job. The picture in the middle shows the students sitting in front of a display which pictures all the soldiers from Alabama who have died in the war since 9-11. There are way too many pictures on that display!!! The last picture is a view from inside the Capitol looking up at the 197 foot dome.

I honestly believe that one picture on that board would be too many. It's so sad. History is fun! Glad to see you're enjoying it. I think it's awesome to be able to have some hand on experiance and be able to walk in the same places that such amazing people have walked.
I love the tours as well. I've taken several tours with you and it is evident that you love it. You're my favorite tour guide! The kids really enjoy the history and that makes it even more fun. I need to post some pics of my groups on my blog. Good idea.
I wish boards like that didn't have to exist...*big sighs*
Neat shot of the dome! Montgomery sure does have a lot of history in it that I think most people are oblivious to.
Jen, it is so great that you love what you do! You are a wonderful tour guide...learned that last year when you were our guide. It is so special that you can share with so many what you know and love!
