{Road Trip} Day Fifteen - A Couple of Capital Cities with Capitol Steps to Climb

After a morning swim in the hotel pool, we headed downtown for B & Hubby to grab their now customary photo in front of the local NFL football stadium, home to the Seattle Seahawks...

M, never short on creativity, found some unique ways to pass the time on the way south to Olympia, WA...

Once in Olympia, we made the run up the capitol building steps...

 

It's B's 35th!!!

and grabbed an awesome lunch at Quality Burrito...

before continuing on to Portland, OR to check in at our hotel before trekking over to Salem, OR...

On the short walk over to the capitol building, the sidewalk had stones to represent each Oregon county and it's county seat.  L was excited to find Yamhill County, where one of her favorite authors, Beverly Cleary, is from.  I love that she loves Beverly Cleary books so much!

{foreshadowing, maybe?}

Number 36 for B!

We had doughnuts for dinner, because when in Portland...

the famous Voodoo Doughnut is a must...
