Yesterday, Wilma, Gus, and I went to the Maine State House and Capitol Park in Augusta, Maine. The Capital was built in 1832 from Maine granite after Maine separated from Massachusetts. Across the street you can find Capital Park, a green space, trails, and a memorial(s) that was originally developed in 1827.
We had a green Adventure to the Maine State House and Capitol Park. I was surprised to arrive at the State House to an empty parking lot, but I guess it was the weekend, and a small city compared to that of Boston or other more metropolitan locations. We first walked around the State House, the grass perfectly mowed, and the State house just lovely. I was not sure if we could enter on the gross inside the fence, so walked just outside it on the sidewalk. We walked, posed, checked on some small gardens, and of course Wilma enjoyed some grassy naps in any attempt she had!
After checking out the State House we crossed the street to Capitol Park. I was surprised to find very few people. The grass and trees were bright green in color, several trails around and through the park. We walked and Wilma made sure more shady resting occurred. It was quiet and peaceful, although one main road nearby. So glad we could check out the State House and Capitol Park yesterday (Rating: 4).
