My 50 States

Blinking at the Grand Canyon, 1995

I've compiled a list of states I've visited, complete with links to posts featuring photos or stories from those states. I will continue to update this list as I add content related to 50 state travel.

Word of warning: if you're a runner, my 50 states are not states I've raced in.

Travel began with visits to grandparents, continued through multiple family road trips, and on through post-college travel with friends and Alex. I have one state left (Alaska), a few states I'd like to get back to because I don't have photos (Wisconsin, Delaware, Rhode Island, Mississippi), and one I want to see more of (Washington). The dates below mark the first time I visited each state (with help from my mom).
