This was our first time we had been in Utah's Capitol building since they renovated it over the past several years. It was too crowded to really see any of the features that the building has to offer.
We decided that Livy would not last two hours to see a piece of paper that she most likely will not find interesting until later in life. The line wrapped around the rotunda and ended at the center where the document was at. Eduardo and I both agreed that it was odd and mostly likely why it took SO long to see the document because instead of simply walking past it, they let one person or family in the center circle at a time to see, read, and photograph it. We were able to walk right up to the outside circle and see the document. This was a good option for us and I can now say that I saw an original Dunlap Broadside.
After wandering back through the Capitol building, we stopped to watch the introduction video that explained the Dunlaps. Very interesting! Here's a piece of trivia for you...the Dunlaps are actually older then the written manuscript that is housed in Washington DC.

Livy was super excited to see the Lions and insisted on seeing them up close.
The Dunlap Broadside is on tour and if it comes to your capital, I highly recommend that you see it!
She is soo cute...she will appreciate this later in life and you have the pictures to show her
