These are all the states that I've been to. And when I say I've been to them, it means I have spent some time in them. In my opinion, driving through a state to get somewhere does NOT count as seeing it or been there done that! Am I right or am I right? :) hehe.
19 out of 50 States not to bad...now if I was counting driving through any My number would be a lot higher!
I've lived in 6 of the 19 I've been to. Mississippi 1 Yr. Tennessee 2 yrs. Washington State 1 yr. Illinois 13 yrs. Ohio 5 yrs. Arizona going on 7 years this July!
Judging by my map, you can see I have spent a lot of time in the MIDWEST. Ha. But of course.
Did you know...
I've never been to NY.
Reason: I grew up in the great City of Chicago! I never thought that NY could offer me anything better than what my own great city already had! We have some outstanding museums, art, Shedd Aquariam, Natural History Museum...Navy Pier. I would love to see the Guggenheim Museum in NY but that's about it! (Art reasons of course) Most friends that have been to NY say it's just a wee bit to crowded and crazy in the city. I say pass on that!
You've been to a good amount of states! If I did one of these it wouldn't show very much haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha I wish I've been places...I live in CA, but I've only been to Arizona, Oregon, and Washington! I should probably travel more!

I totally agree... driving through does not count! I always say that you have to have an experience in a state for it to count... and pumping gas is not considered an experience, lol!!
ReplyDeleteI traveled a lot across the US with my family back in the day, and then I turned to international travels. Now, I'm missing the good ol' USA! I need to plan a big road trip soon!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Don't forget to visit Oregon someday! You'd love it:-) Totally plugging my own state, what? xoxo
Very cool idea! I need to count all of my states up as well including the ones that I have done vacation stuff in!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've done this before too! I'm always doing a link up on where you live, you may have seen it. If you want to check it out, the link is : http://missblondiexoxo.blogspot.com/2011/03/me-on-map_22.html
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :)
oh that is fun! i wonder how many i've been to...
ReplyDeleteYou are right! Just like flying into an airport of a certain place does NOT constitute visiting there. I also have never been to New York but plan to make a trip there ASAP!
ReplyDeleteCome on NY has a little more to offer than just one museum!! I guess I'm biased.
ReplyDeleteWow...what a fun thing to do! Hubs and I always talk about how many places in the US we still want to visit...this would be the perfect way to track our progress!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun idea!! I've always said that I thought Chicago felt like a more wide-open, cleaner version of New York. Having been to both, I have to agree that you're probably not missing out on much :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Chicago OR NY!
ReplyDelete19 out of 50 is way more than I've been too.
