Touring the Wyoming Capitol Building

Although we've lived in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for more than a year, we've yet to explore many of the sights tourists usually prioritize during a visit to this state capitol.

Things to Do in Downtown San Diego

We explored a number of sites in and around downtown San Diego during our anniversary weekend getaway. Knowing we would be heading up the coast for a few days, we rented a car for our trip; however, we certainly didn't need it for our time downtown. We found everything to be completely walkable.
