RICHMOND — From an accidental trip to the roof of the Wisconsin state capitol to funeral crashing at West Virginia's statehouse, the Honke family just completed their quest to visit all 50 state capitol buildings, and a 51st stop at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.Â
Kathy Honke shows off her family's capitol passport book in Richmond on July 1. The day’s visit to the Virginia state Capitol marked the book’s final of 50 entry stamps.
