Number Five- Visit all 50 States

Once when I was little, I was telling my Grandma some big plan of how I was going travel the world. When she said to me "What have you seen of our country? Why go so far, when you have yet to see you own backyard?" And it stopped me in my tracks and I realized how much exploring I still have to do here before I leave. I really made me slow down and consider what America has to offer that I have not yet seen.

So now I want to visit all 50 states, not that I would turn down a trip to Europe, but I can take it slow and enjoy the time I have here and when I say I want to visit all 50 states I mean I really want to explore them and see their true side.

1. Alabama
2. Alaska
3. Arizona
4. Arkansas
5. California
I have been to California a multitude of times visiting family and just for fun. I really do enjoy California, mostly for the sun, warmth and of course the beach. I have mostly spent time in Northern California and have only been to the southern part once and that was only to L.A. for a week. So I still need to finish visiting California.
6. Colorado
I have spent roughly two weeks of my life in Colorado, my uncle's family has a cabin there and one time during the summer they took me with them to visit. I loved it, it was near a state park, so amazing hiking opportunities and beautiful scenery all around. I would love to go back with my family one day.
7. Connecticut
8. Delaware
9. Florida
Right before I graduated from high School I went on a trip to Jacksonville, Florida for an amazing week. I went with a small group to receive my Citation Award from AWANAs which was a highlight of my life, finish something i had been working since I was in Kindergarten. I loved Florida, the humidity did bother me at all. I loved the beach there to. I want to take my family there.
10. Georgia
11. Hawaii
12. Idaho
Lived there since I was two until I was eighteen. I like Idaho, it was a pretty good place to grow up, but I pretty sure I am allergic to all living things in that area.
13. Illinois
14. Indiana
15. Iowa
16. Kansas
17. Kentucky
18. Louisiana
19. Maine
20. Maryland
21. Massachusetts

23. Minnesota
24. Mississippi
25. Missouri
26. Montana
27. Nebraska

32. New York
My sister lives in Brooklyn and I have been able to visit her twice now and with an important birthday coming up for her I am hoping to go again and spend it with her. I loved Brooklyn when I was there, But I really need to see the rest of the state and I really want to go Yonkers, I love Hello Dolly! So I have to go there at least once.
33. North Carolina
34. North Dakota
35. Ohio
My Best friend growing up moved to Ohio during our junior year of high school and two years after she left I was able to go and visit her. Ohio is very different from Idaho all rolling hills and no irrigation. I missed the smell of water and it rained a lot.
36. Oklahoma

Went to collage there and went on a road trip up the coast of Oregon and attended the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashlynd. I like Visiting Oregon, but I don't want to live there.
