Olympia, Washington: a Great Day- Trip Destination

I find it very odd that I still know people that have been here forever and have never been to the state capital city of Olympia. On the other hand, I always find myself returning to this lovely small city several times a year to enjoy of many quiet and small pleasures such as great food, cafes, great  walking trails around the Capitol Lake area all the way to a park in Tumwater. Is just a nice little city that I keep going back to.
