State Capitols

Eric and I have somewhat unintentionally started a quest to visit all of the state capitol buildings in the United States. (As a kid, I had a bucket list item to visit all the state capitals, and it seems we are well on our way.) It's been a fun adventure; they are all different and the tour guides are usually really into telling us about the history of the state, the building(s), and the politics. Clink the links below to see write ups of our tours (some with guides, some self-guided).
