50 states- revisited

I'm redoing my list since I've traveled some since the last time.
1Alabama- been there - not much else to say.
Alaska- not yet, but I hear it is lovely
2Arizona- Grand Canyon. Yippee. Yippee. (Sarcasm)
Arkansas- 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) No, it is really quite gorgeous!
5Connecticut- Last time I said I wanted to visit and hang out with rich folks- I went and had lunch with Katie Couric! How's that for rich folk?!
Delaware- I've always wanted to go to Dover. I don't know why.
6Florida- 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
7Georgia- 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!!)
8Hawaii- 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?!
9Illinois- Jackson used to live in Champaign ;) ha! I love Chicago- fun city! HATE the Illini.
10Indiana- 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
11Kansas- I LOVE Kansas!!! Lawrence is awesome and western Kansas is gorgeous
12Kentucky- 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
13Maine- one of my favorite states! The coast is just gorgeous!
14Maryland- Yes and Baltimore was the dirtiest city I have ever visited. Gag.
15Massachusetts- LOVED Boston! What a wonderful city!
16Michigan- St. Joe's is such a cute place to spend the 4th of July!
17Minnesota- Mall of America. 'nuff said
18Mississippi- They have a spaceship at a rest area I think
19Missouri- 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
20Nevada- Vegas was pretty cool but we stayed at an awesome hotel in Henderson and jet skiied on Lake Mead- way cooler than the strip
21New Hampshire- their roads are like driving in England! (Not that I've been to Endland yet, but from what I've seen on t.v. NH's roads are quite similar!)
22New Jersey- Princeton is one of my favorite college towns ever! So wonderful! and the Cherry Hills country club was top notch, thanks Jenna Hess
23New Mexico- White Sands was awesome!
24New York- NYC was great except my neck KILLED after a day of tourist behavior (looking up marveling at the buildings)
North Carolina- No and I need to go because Ashville looks wonderful
North Dakota- I just haven't had the urge yet...
