Our hotel in Bismarck, ND was near the state Capitol. Once again, we’ve been to and through Bismarck many times and have never stopped by the Capitol building.
It was a cold and windy day, but the stop was worthwhile.
I was quite surprised to see that the building is modern.

As we drove farther north, the snow dissipated until it was completely gone! This was a new, unexpected, and most welcome experience for us.
