State Capitols

When I was a small child my father set a goal for our family to visit as many of the State Capitol buildings as possible, and we visited quite a few. Most of the time one or two snap shots were taken but not always. These pictures were primarily taken of family members in front of the landmark rather than the building itself. After us kids were gone our parents would occassionally visit another Capitol building on some of their trips and snap another picture.

Over the last few years I have started taking pictures of some State Capitols focusing on the architctural design. So the following is broken down into two groups; a photo section and a family snap shot section. The date next to the state name indicates when the latest pictures were taken.

Will we visit them all?  I don't know. Time will tell.
