Man....I was feeling like I'd be kind of light with my thirteen. Which ones have you been to, Toots?

Most of the time, the capital is not the place to be in any given state. I've been to Maine twice but only been to Portland and surrounding. No reason to go up to Augusta; there's nothing there. I think that limits a lot of state capital visiting for me, despite driving across some large chunks of the country.

Man....I was feeling like I'd be kind of light with my thirteen. Which ones have you been to, Toots?
KY and WV

 

I've only been to 13 states.

I've been to

 

Dover, DE

Frankfurt, KY

Trenton, NJ

Harrisburg, PA

Annapolis, MD

Columbus, OH

Austin, TX

Nashville, TN

Phoenix, AZ

Denver, CO

Atlanta, GA

Indianapolis, IN

Richmond, VA

St Paul, MN

Montgomery, AL

Little Rock, AR

Raleigh, NC

 

17 total.

I've been in 13 of the cities.

14 states and 4 national capitals (DC, Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels)

16, possibly 17

 

AL, AR, CA, CO, GA, IN, KS, KY, MO, NC, OH, SC, TN, VA, WV, WY. I THINK I stopped in Carson City, NV while visiting Reno, but not 100% sure, but that would make it 17.
