October 29, 2013

We headed for Columbus Ohio where the agenda included a tour of the Ohio Capitol and the Jack Nicklaus Museum on the Ohio State Campus.

Because the floor had to be redone, an outline of the state, with counties identified, made a unique map.


When the building was being built, it was done about as cheaply as possible.  The ground under the area included a lot of clay.  Surprisingly, one of the things built before the Capitol was the state prison.  The clay was free, the labor was real cheap and the interior design was quite plain...and the land was donated.

 Instead of war memorials, there are walls that include letters from friends of soldiers.

 The offices of the legislators are in a close by building that includes the Governor's office on the top floor.

 Like the Rotunda?

A short drive to the Ohio State University campus to the Jack Nicklaus Museum.  It was very well done and had a lot of pictures and golf memorabilia from a great career.


 Some of Jack's Masters memorabilia.  Six times a winner.


 A winning Ryder Cup Captain.

 A replica of the "Family Room" in Florida. Grammie enjoying the video.

 What talent.  Arnie, Ray, Tom and Jack.

 The Master at work.


The van turned over 10,000 miles today.  Our grand daughters birthday was today and we got started late and didn't get a chance to call Ivy today and wish her a happy birthday, so,  Tom called up school, got Ivy on the phone and we sang Happy Birthday to her.  Happy 7th Ivy.  Thanks Lori.

Pittsburgh tonight.  Should I be taking orders for Yeungling?

Have a great day all.
