I've been to the capital many times, and also the capitol (Statehouse) once during an 8th grade field trip, which also included going up to the 40th floor of the Rhodes State Office Tower across the street.

I've been to Montgomery at least once, and I know I pass through it at least twice every two years. I've also been to the capitols (or at least gone through the capitols) of TN, GA, PA, and AZ.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

(Haven't actually been inside any state Capitols, save the US Capitol Building when I was 10.)

Capitol buildings...mostly just drive-up or walk up and take a photo.
AL, FL, GA, LA, TN, TX, RI, NY, CT, IA, NM, WI, ME, OK, PA

Two former Capitol buildings: MS, AR

Visited or passed-trhough capital cities:
Columbia, Raleigh, Richmond, Trenton, Boston, Concord, Columbus, Indianapolis, St. Paul, Denver, Phoenix, Olympia, Sacramento

I guess I could include Salem, OR but just zooming by the outskirts of the city on I-5 seems a bit weak.

I've been to my state's capital.
I've also been to my state's capitol.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.
