I have mentioned that I have traveled across the country many times. My most recent trips were with a colleague named Greg who taught government. He and I were passing through West Virginia and I mentioned as I saw the golden dome of the Capitol from the interstate, that we ought to be stopping for a visit. Though we did not stop then (Greg is a planner and this was not on the plan) we did walk into the Capitol in New Mexico when we had some time to kill later on that same trip, and because of that he and I have been on a quest to see all the U.S. Capitol buildings. He is now married and has new travel companions and the challenge is on to see who will get the task done first. With that in mind, when possible, I add them to my road trips when they are not much out of the way. Between the start of the journey and our Wyoming destination there were three en-route that I had not seen. So with my patient wife’s consent, and with an effort to break up the monotony of the cornfields she was getting tired of seeing; we stopped in Indianapolis, Springfield and Lincoln. Maybe we will see a few more on the way back home. To see what we saw (not all were open inside because of covid restrictions) and a few more road pictures click here.
