Checked off the list

I’m in Utah right now. On my trip, I’ll be crossing Nevada, Utah and Arizona off my list of visited states. My goal is to hit all 50 before I die. By the end of this trip, I’ll only be almost halfway there (approximately 23 states, if I’m counting correctly).

This is exciting for me for three reasons:

  1. I get to color in three more states on the U.S. map on which I keep track of my visits (with a color-coded key and everything!).
  2. I can add another photo collage to my collection of personal vacation photo collages (I have three now in the three years since I graduated from college).
  3. I’m going to the southwest, an area of the U.S. I’ve never seen before. My only hope is that it is as beautiful as “Back to the Future III” and the opening segment of “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” make it out to be.

How many states have you visited? Do you plan to visit more? Which state do you want to visit most?


I never really thought about...

I never really thought about how many states I've visited and, I'd have to consult a few photo albums to be sure, but I think from glancing at a U.S. map I can safely say I've been to 26 states thus far in my life.

Except for New York, it looks like I've neglected the eastern part of the country -- but I've got a cousin in Connecticut and a friend in Massachusetts so maybe I should plan a roadtrip! I've given the Midwest a good run and have spent some time in the south and on the West Coast so the east may need my company.

My brother is thinking about moving to Alaska so I'm hoping to pick up that state once he settles in.
