Trip to the Governor's Mansion

We had a great day today touring the governor's mansion in Jefferson City. We went with a few friends and enjoyed a tour, a picnic, and a stop by Central Dairy. What is there not to love????

Before going to the mansion I read through the touring policy and prepped my kids with a few rules. One of the things I was sure to point out was that there wasn't a bathroom in the governor's mansion so we needed to make sure we went before we left home.

On the way there I asked each of my older boys to think of a question that they might want to ask the tour guide.  Jack quickly came up with the question of which governor has had the most kids - stemming of course from what it would be like to be a kid living in the mansion. A very reasonable question. Theo quickly came up with his question as well. He quickly piped in telling me that he was going to ask the tour guide 'where does the governor go to the bathroom?'.

It seems I forgot to mention that the governor's mansion had no public bathroom. In Theo's four year old mind he was thinking being governor doesn't sound like that good of a job if you have to across the street to go to the bathroom!  LOL.

Great question, especially since lunch was a picnic in the Governor's Garden. He probably was expecting an outhouse:)
