We Live in the Capital..oh ya?

Austin isn't a big city. That's one of the things are we truly enjoy about it. It's just big enough to have some city charm, something that LA didn't have enough of for us. Anyways, last weekend we spent a day exploring a few neighborhoods to see where we wanted to possibly end up after our year lease is up. At the end of the day we decided to head over to the Capitol building. Since it was the weekend we knew that there would be lots of parking so we might as well take advantage of the opportunity. This place was freakin' H U G E !!!!

So we took a few pics ....

and then.
we. found. this.

At first we thought it was a heart. oh how cute, a heart in the Capit0l? umm ya look closer. does that really belong in a city government building? apparently the state of Texas thinks so. We left laughing and wondered if anyone else has ever noticed this "artistic" expression before.
