Some New Discoveries

In my wanderings I ran across a couple of landmarks that I hadn't seen before...

The Summer House at the Capitol

The Grotto at the Summer House

The Summer House Fountain

There is a Memorial to the Signers of the Declaration of Independence near the Vietnam Memorial. All of the signers' names and signatures are carved on granite blocks. George Walton, Lyman Hall, and Button Gwinnett are three names that I will never forget thanks to 8th Grade Georgia history. Mrs. Rogers suggested that we think of George Walton walking down the Hall while Buttoning his Gwinnett. It worked.

The Grotto looks lovely. It also looks like the place where some of the castaways on Lost moved when they left the beach. ;)
