A caller named Alice is pursuing a goal of visiting all 50 US state capital buildings, requiring entry into each building. She has visited about half so far, with the Illinois State Capitol being her favorite building and Santa Fe her favorite capital city.
“But a lot of these states I need to go back to because I have a current travel goal of visiting all 50 state capital buildings.”
