General Assembly Building.

The Executive Mansion. Terry, are you home? We stopped by to visit….

The Mansion opened for quick walk-through tours for Saturday’s day of reenactment and educational at the Capitol.

My first job with the State of Virginia was in the building on the left.

Inside the Mansion. There was a different feeling walking within the roped-off areas. A a guest of Governor Bob McDonnell, we were free to truly observe the architecture and furnishings of this iconic landmark that belongs to the people of Virginia. Filled with friends and colleagues, the rooms were filled with laughter and lively conversation.
