State of Mind

Inspired by a silly little meme going around Facebook (rather, it went around Facebook a few weeks ago), I thought I’d list all the states and mark the ones I’ve been to. I want to go to all the states, so considered them all marked for that. All the states that have comments are the ones I have been to, and airports don’t count.

• Alabama – drove through on I-10 in 2006.
• Alaska
• Arizona – I live next door to Arizona, so yeah, been to Phoenix a couple times and Kingman’s Route 66 museum.
• Arkansas
• California – Mister is from CA. We go to visit his family, and once in awhile to go to IKEA.
• Colorado – first visit to CO was in 2003, when I stayed with my mom’s cousin on my way to Vegas. Mister also used to live here, so we’ve been to visit Zac.
• Connecticut – my uncle Caboose lives in New Haven, so I’ve been to and through CT tons of times.
• Delaware – I’ve only been on I-95 through the top part of DE on my 2006 x-c road trip.
• Florida – My grandparents and great-grandparents lived here when I was a wee baby, so I’ve been when I was 1 and 3. Disney World in high school, and now my sister and cousin live there, so I’ve been a few times.
• Georgia – through on I-95 in 2006
• Hawaii
• Idaho
• Illinois – through on I-70 in 2003
• Indiana – through on I-70 in 2003
• Iowa
• Kansas – through on I-70 in 2003. Stopped for the night in Salina.
• Kentucky
• Louisiana – through on I-10 in 2006
• Maine – My stepdad is from Maine, so I’ve been a few times. Shopping in Kittery and Freeport, visiting the step-fam in Bangor and Lewiston area, Acadia National Park, and good eats in Portland at the Great Lost Bear.
• Maryland – I had a pen pal in middle and high school. I went to visit when I was 19, I think, and she showed me a bit of Baltimore. Also drove through in 2006.
• Massachusetts – My home state. My family still lives here.
• Michigan
• Minnesota
• Mississippi – through on I-10 in 2006
• Missouri – through on I-70 in 2003
• Montana
• Nebraska
• Nevada – I live here now. Vegas Baby!
• New Hampshire – I was born in NH, and live there until I was 6, then moved back when I was 16. Spent ages 16-25 moving back and forth from MA to NH.
• New Jersey – My mommy grew up here, and I still have family there. Been there tons of times to visit Aunt Bird and Uncle N Period and the rest of the family.
• New Mexico – through on I-10 in 2006
• New York – Lots of opportunities to visit NYC when visiting the family in NJ. Also used to date a guy who lived in Albany, and I’ve driven the Thruway a bunch of times on my way to Toronto.
• North Carolina – through on I-95 in 2006. Also went to visit a friend in 2005.
• North Dakota
• Ohio – Connected from I-90 to I-70 in 2003, and stopped for the night outside of Columbus.
• Oklahoma
• Oregon
• Pennsylvania – Grandma had a childhood friend from Doylestown, whom we went to visit when I was in high school. Also been to Philly a couple of times with Uncle N Period, and through in 2006.
• Rhode Island – (believe it or not, the only New England state I’ve never been to.)
• South Carolina – through in 2006 when I had to detour and see my sister in Florida. Stayed in Holly Hill at Uncle Police Chief’s house, which was nice because I finally got to see their new digs since they moved out of NH.
• South Dakota
• Tennessee
• Texas – through on I-10 in 2006. It took forever (note: Texas is huge and takes forever to drive through). Stopped for the night in Kerrville.
• Utah – through on I-70 to I-15. I-70 is desolate and there’s like, one stop from Grand Junction, CO until you hit I-15.
• Vermont – through a few times on the way to Montreal. Also went with a friend to visit her BF who was at college near Montpelier. Oh, and drove Rt. 9 through the southern part of the state once. That was fun.
• Virginia – through on I-95 in 2006.
• Washington
• West Virginia
• Wisconsin
• Wyoming
