50 states

I've decided to figure out how close I am to my goal of visiting each of the 50 states.


1Alabama- been there
Alaska- not yet, but I hear it is lovely
2Arizona- Grand Canyon. Yippee. Yippee. (Sarcasm)
Arkansas- unsure so I'll go with no. I'd like to visit Little Rock and listen to the song by Collin Raye about Little Rock
3California- Yes and I prefer Nor Cal :) Napa Valley and San Fran are amazing
4Colorado- I live here. (boo)
Connecticut- No and I would totally love to be all poshed up and hang with the rich folks
Delaware- I've always wanted to go to Dover. I don't know why.
5Florida- I've lived there. Palm Beach is really the best. I have visited other places in the state before but I have vowed to only do PB from now on
6Georgia- Atlanta- I HATE Atlanta. Let's just say their HOV lanes end without notice into cement walls and they have an underground mall that is so ghetto you fear for your life. (Shannon- we risked our lives for that Braves shirt- brave we were!!)
7Hawaii- I was terribly unimpressed but I went 2 weeks agter 9/11 happened. I intend to visit again sometime. Possibly sometime that I am on a hunger strike because the food there was awful.
Idaho- No, but I intend to visit in the near future to enjoy a potato festival I have heard about. Doesn't that seem so fitting?!
8Illinois- Jackson used to live in Champaign ;) ha! I love Chicago- fun city!
9Indiana- home to God's country- I've been there most of my life
Iowa- I hate the hawkeyes and will only visit Iowa to mark it off of my list
10Kansas- I LOVE Kansas!!! Lawrence is awesome and western Kansas is gorgeous
11Kentucky- home to the biggest church I have ever attended- Southeast Christian- very cool place
Louisiana- no but I hope to one day
Maine- another one I plan to get to but it is so darn out of the way
12Maryland- Yes and Baltimore was the dirtiest city I have ever visited. Gag.
Massachusetts- No, but I get to do some continuing education at Harvard this December (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
13Michigan- St. Joe's is such a cute place to spend the 4th of July!
14Minnesota- Mall of America. 'nuff said
15Mississippi- They have a spaceship at a rest area I think
16Missouri- St. Louis arch is totally worth a trip up- even if you're deathly afraid of heights like myself
Montana- No but who honestly goes to Montana?
Nebraska- see above
17Nevada- Vegas was pretty cool but we stayed at an awesome hotel in Henderson and jet skiied on Lake Mead- way cooler than the strip

23Pennsylvania- yes, and I saw the Liberty Bell- wonderful!
