A goal my husband and I have set for ourselves is to visit all 50 US states. Since I wasn’t born in America it’s quite a lofty goal (although many of you have probably already reached it). We’ve also set the rule that both of us must have been to the state for us to be able to cross it off the list. I came to America on vacation when I was a child and we visited most of the western states, but my husband hasn’t been there yet so I can’t cross them off (do I sound a bit bitter…..).
Anyway, here’s what we have accomplished so far:
Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming
So we almost half way through! One of the fun things we are doing to keep track is “scratching off” each state as we visit it. Check out our map below to see our progress.
We found it on Jane (they sell it quite frequently) and we absolutely LOVE it! Travelling is so enjoyable and I have learned so much about US history on our travels (way more than my college US history class).
Are you trying to see all 50 US states? How are you keeping track?
