Kids are getting ready for summer vacation...have you taken them for a tour of the capitol building? Summertime is a good time to take the kids for the tour... It gets 'em away from their gaming & texting, off their ipads, ipods, cellphones and all that other crap and teaches them something in the process.

The above is a very cool video.

See lots of old, rare pictures of our capitol; from when it was located in Detroit and finally in Lansing.

I’ve taken the capitol tour before and I never get tired of it…each time I go there always seems to be something new that I missed!

If you can’t ever get to the capitol for a tour this just might be the next best thing...but if you have kids and are able, TAKE 'EM ON THE TOUR. And if YOU enjoy local history you’ll dig it!

After viewing, make sure you share...
