Washington, D.C. Vicinity {2015} - Day 2

Hubby got up early this morning and met up with a couple of his soldiers that had come to town to run the race this year.  After taking them to pick up race packets, he got back to us mid-morning.  On tap for today was hitting up a couple more state capitols...

First up, a new state for these 3...

and recreating one of our favorite photos from a few family road trips ago back in 2012...

{Photo 1 is in Texarkana on the TX/AR border & Photo 2 is on a small country road in the Delmar area in front of a soybean field (the actual state line can be seen on the road, and we weren't going to stand in the middle of the road, of course) on the DE/MD border}

Hubby and I think that we have both been to Delaware before this, but now we can confidently check this little state off... 

Our first stop in Delaware, was at Legislative Hall in Dover...

Looking back on these photos now, I think we might've been at the back door of this building.  It was a little confusing, as evidently it had to be evacuated a couple of days ago because of a fire.  A ton of fire fighters were there today working on the building and making sure it was safe, so we didn't venture around too much...

We did climb the back steps, though!

Hooray for our First State's capitol building!

We'll just have to come back again sometime and make sure to climb up the front steps, too...

From there, we grabbed a late lunch and headed back into Maryland to make a stop in Annapolis at the Maryland State House...



Up the steps...

a photo at the double front doors...

and back down the steps...

Maryland State House ~ his 29th set of capitol steps scaled ~ Annapolis, MD.  I'm proud of this little guy for setting a goal all on his own and working to achieve it.  I have to admit that, so far, it has been pretty fun orchestrating him getting to each of these 29 capitol buildings, too!

Meeting up with some of Hubby's soldiers for dinner tonight, and off to race tomorrow!
