50 States

I'm redoing my list since I've traveled some since the last time.

1
Alabama- been there - not much else to say.

Alaska- not yet, but I hear it is lovely
2
Arizona- Grand Canyon. Yippee. Yippee. (Sarcasm)
Arkansas- I'd like to visit Little Rock and listen to the song by Collin Raye about Little Rock
3
California- Yes and I prefer Nor Cal :) Napa Valley and San Fran are amazing
4
Colorado- I live here. (boo) No, it is really quite gorgeous!
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.
5
Florida- 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
6
Georgia- 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!!)
7
Hawaii- 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?!
8
Illinois- Jackson used to live in Champaign ;) ha! I love Chicago- fun city! HATE the Illini.
9
Indiana- 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
10
Kansas- I LOVE Kansas!!! Lawrence is awesome and western Kansas is gorgeous
11
Kentucky- home to the biggest church I have ever attended- Southeast Christian- very cool place
Louisiana- no and I'd really like to get there sometime
Maine- another one I plan to get to but it is so darn out of the way
12
Maryland- Yes and Baltimore was the dirtiest city I have ever visited. Gag.
Massachusetts- No, but I really, really want to go there next! (Hint, Jackson, Hint!)
13
Michigan- St. Joe's is such a cute place to spend the 4th of July!
14
Minnesota- Mall of America. 'nuff said
15
Mississippi- They have a spaceship at a rest area I think
16
Missouri- St. Louis arch is totally worth a trip up- even if you're deathly afraid of heights like myself
Montana- No but when we go to Jackson Hole, WY we're going to rent a car and drive really, really fast during the day in Montana because they do not have speed limits!

Nebraska- We're hoping to get to the College World Series someday
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
