Gord and I were on the bus trip to Albany for their Tulip Festival. We saw a cute play titled "A Little Night Music," and had an unusual dinner at the Mansion Hill Inn. On Monday we toured the State Buildings seeing the Senate and Assembly Chambers with all its history, stained glass windows and "woodwork." We climbed the Million Dollar staircase (I figure we own a share in these stately historic buildings.) Monday we had time to visit the observation deck & State museum. New exhibits are being added all the time. All this is found at the Empire State Plaza.
