Statehouse Selfies Update

Good day to all! This has been a long and busy summer, but hopefully there will be more blogging time available now that the kids have gone back to school. Sylvia is a freshman, Erik is a senior in high school! Jane is a junior at Hamilton and Cees is at the University of New Hampshire using his GI bill benefits.

Meanwhile we have been visiting family in Long Island and explored some New England state houses. We are trying to visit all state houses in the USA.

New Hampshire and Vermont were easy since they are practically in our own backyard. We did Boston on our way back from a family visit in Massachusetts and found out that their liberty bell replica has been locked up! If you ever go visit the state house in Boston, make sure to ask about that bell, since it's supposed to be publicly available. The more people ask about it, the more I hope they will make it their priority to stop locking it up.

We were able to visit one more state house and our first capitol on our way to  and from Rhode Island. On our way there we visited Hartford, Connecticut and on the way back we took the Orient Point ferry, so 'almost' were in Providence Rhode Island. I haven't written about either of these yet, so you'll have to be patient for me to catch up.

Have you visited any state houses or capitols? Which one was your favorite?
