Page 49 - Visiting the Capitol

Seeing as neither LM or I had ever been to the Capitol, we decided to take a trek out to Lansing and check it out.  The weather was better than expected, and we decided to walk around the surrounding area before going in to tour the Capitol.  After checking with Mr. Google on places to eat lunch, we headed over to Kewpee Sandwich Shop to fill our bellies.  The place was nearly full, but we still got a booth as soon as we walked in.  The fact that everyone came in at the same time just before us, though, slowed down our service a bit....but we had absolutely no problem with that.  Our waitress was fantastic, and we found out in talk to her that she used to live only a few miles from us.  The food was ok.  Pretty standard fries and onion rings, my club was pretty good (really good turkey, good bacon, average ham) but I would have chosen a different bread than the standard Texas Toast if I were going to have it again.

Aside from the Capitol, we walked around Lansing Community College, as well as the "Old Town" area,  We stopped into Pruess Pets, which is a really cool pet store that we never knew was there.  The only drawback was the Girl Scouts that set up shop right at the entrance of the pet store.  Thankfully they were too busy to bully me into buying some Thin Mints as we entered or exited.
