Alabama: I've been to Selma and Montgomery twice for service trips during college. Corn nuggets forever, man.
Arizona: I've driven through and been to the Grand Canyon in 7th grade.
Arkansas: In my sophomore year of high school I went on a mission trip with my church through YouthWorks to Marvell, Arkansas.
California: Believe it or not, before 4 years ago, I had never set food in the great state of California (except for LAX which doesn't count). But now, on two separate trips I've visited San Francisco, Chico, Sonoma area, Bay area, Fresno, Los Angeles, and San Diego!
Colorado: I've been here many a times because I have family in Colorado Springs, but it doesn't mean I don't try and visit every chance I get! The PLA (Public Library Association) conference is in Denver this year and I am SO excited! I love Colorado!
Connecitcut: Besides my Megabus driving through it, I hadn't been until this past fall when I visited a friend and we tailgated the UCONN Homecoming game outside of Hartford. Random, I know. Hopefully a mini-trip to New Haven is in the works for this summer!
Delaware: When I was about 10, we took a big summer trip to the D.C. general area, and along this trip my mom, the genealogist, made us drive to Delaware to visit some long-lost (now found) family member. Maybe someday I'll make it back there to visit Dogfish Head brewery - about the only reason I would head back.
Florida: I've been here more than I've been to some of the states I grew up around, and it's mostly because of Disney World. I've been a whopping 5 times (and I loved every visit), and I've also been to a few of the beaches, West Palm area, and St. Augustine (the cauuuutest town ever).
Georgia: Mostly I had just driven through Georgia, but I have technically been to Savannah (for the whole 3 hours we were there). Obviously, it's a place I'd like to go back to (Savannah) and I'd like to visit Atlanta sometime as well.
Idaho: Here is my first state (of only a few) that I count because I've driven through them, but not technically visited. I'm trying to remedy that and so sometime (not in the near future, I think), I need to hit up Idaho!
Illinois: Been here many a times considering it borders my home state. I love Chicago and to this day, my favorite museum is still the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum in Springfield, IL! And the most adorable town is Galena, Illinois, which is just across the border from Dubuque, IA.
Iowa: Duh.
Kansas: I've driven through here, but also I have visited a few places for our domestic choir tours at Wartburg, namely Overland Park, Kansas and I think we may have been to Wichita too.
Kentucky: A state that I have only driven through so far, but Louisville is a place I'd really like to visit sometime in the nearish future, so we'll make it official with that.
Louisiana: Very recently have I visited Louisiana for the first time when I visited New Orleans in October.
Maine: Now that I live in New England, I've been to this state a few times-but I could always go more :) I've visited Portland, Freeport, and Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park.
Maryland: I know that when I visited D.C. when I was younger we drove around/through Maryland because of its proximity to D.C., but I hadn't really BEEN there until this year, when I visited Baltimore and also when I took my trip down to Boonsboro to meet Nora Roberts.
Massachusetts: I live here, so yeah.
Minnesota: I grew up only 30 minutes from the border and have been to the Twin Cities many a time (mostly the Mall of America), but I've been to a few other places in Minnesota as well, include way up in Duluth for a choir tour.
Mississippi: Another state that I have only driven through, and I gotta say-this is one that it will probably be a long time before I try and remedy that and actually visit.
Missouri: Driven through here a bunch and been to St. Louis a time or two. This year, I'm going to visit Kansas City as well and I'm really excited!
Montana: Ok, this one is another that I "drove" through-probably only for a few miles to get to our hotel that we were staying in there while visiting Yellowstone. No worries though, I have every intention of visiting MT again because I really want to see Glacier National Park.
Nebraska: Driven through here a few times to go to Colorado (boring, but fast-speed limit is 75), and been to Omaha and Lincoln for choir tours.
Nevada: I visited Las Vegas when I was in 7th grade. We spent the whole time at Wet 'n' Wild. Clearly, I need to revisit this place! Also, Tahoe looks beautiful and somebody it'd be cool to visit!
New Jersey: When I first visited NYC in high school for a choir trip, we stayed in New Jersey. Does that count? I'm counting it, but I suppose someday I'll check out Atlantic City or the Jersey Shore some.
New Mexico: So far, only driven through here but Santa Fe is on my list to visit and I have a friend who lives in nearby Albuquerque, so it'll happen!
New York: NYC is one of my favorite places ever! Also have visited Albany, the Finger Lakes (highly recommend), and Buffalo!
North Carolina: I had driven through here a few years ago for an amazing Gentlemen of the Road concert in St. Augustine and we stayed with my friend's aunt and went to a brewery in the weirdest town name ever: Fuquay-Varina. More recently, I visited my friend in Charlotte, NC and we took a day-trip to Asheville-which I am now obsessed with!
North Dakota: I wish I remembered where exactly we were, but the summer after my freshman year of high school I went on a mission trip with my church to North Dakota through YouthWorks, where we worked with kids and painted houses. My favorite part was a native dance of sorts that we went to on or near the reservation, that the Native Americans put on, it was really beautiful! After a bit of research on the YouthWorks site, I didn't see any trip to North Dakota. Either they no longer do that trip, or this whole time it was really in South Dakota (embarassing). Either way, I should probably go to Fargo sometime.
Ohio: For the most part, I have only driven through this state but I have stopped in both Cincinnati and Cleveland on the Megabus multiple times and once I even met up for dinner with some library friends in Cleveland! So yes, I've been to Ohio.
Oklahoma: Another stop on a choir tour was in Tulsa, Oklahoma where we performed at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center (I think) with Simon Estes and a famous soprano or alto singer that I can't remember and I feel really bad about not remembering that (oh well).
Oregon: When I was younger and I took a trip with my family to Washington and British Columbia, we also visited family in Salem and Portland. I don't remember much about this part of the trip except for I tried salmon for the first time and hated it (now I don't), and that we went to the Multnomah Falls-beautiful!
Rhode Island: Since moving to New England, it's helped me visit a lot more of the states that I hadn't been to, and so I am glad to say that I've been to the smallest state three times! Twice to Providence (where I ran my first 5k) and once to Newport-which is beautiful!
South Carolina: I've driven through this one, but haven't actually stopped. So it's on my list to "revisit" if you will. Or to visit so I can officially count it!
South Dakota: During my family's "big trip across the west" when I was 12, we hit up a number of states and monuments: Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and of course, South Dakota-had to see Mount Rushmore!
Tennessee: I'm a huge country music fan, and so of COURSE I've been to Nashville and absolutely loved it. In the summer of 2011 I visited there with my best friend for the best week in country music, the CMA Music Festival-it was AMAZING and it's where I fell in with fried pickles.
Texas: My first time in Texas was in 2009 when I did a service trip through Wartburg to Galveseton for disaster relief. It was a good trip, but I didn't feel like I really experienced Texas and so that's why I'm glad I was able to do my Texas trip last year where I visited San Antonio, Austin, and Houston (briefly).
Utah: I've only been the once and it was on the "grand west" trip in 7th grade. I've driven past Great Salt Lake and all it's smelliness, visited the Olympic park in Salt Lake City, and I fondly remember my first real visit to a Hibachi grill there (random, but it's what I remember).
Virginia: On our trip to D.C. when I was 10, we spent 3 DAYS in Williamsburg. Far too many, but I've still never had a better chicken pot pie than I did at King's Arms Tavern. Aside from that, we visited Mount Vernon as well and of course, I've been to Arlington National Cemetery a couple of times. Adding a real city to my list in April - Richmond.
Washington: I've been to Washington 3 times now and Seattle is a city I adore. My first trip was when I was 8 or 9 and we visited Seattle, but also did more of the outdoorsy things as well and I saw the ocean for the first time in Washington! I've also been back as an adult for a conference in Seattle and a wedding in Olympia!
West Virginia: I've had the pleasure of spending quite a few weekends in Morgantown, WV visiting some friends from study abroad. Morgantown is only about 1.5 hours away from Pittsburgh and so it was a fun weekend trip every now and then! I know it gets knocked down a lot, but it really is a beautiful landscape and I like how low-key it is. Also if you are ever in Morgantown, do yourself a favor and eat at Black Bear.
Wisconsin: Going to the Wisconsin Dells was probably my first trip to this state way back when I was oh, I don't know, 3 or 4. But since then I've been there for hockey tournaments (my friend's brothers), and choir trips (Wausau and Madison) and now more recently more of Madison which is an awesome town and it helps that one of my best friends lives there :)
Wyoming: Haven't been to much more than Yellowstone National Park, but really is there a lot more to visit than that?
Whew, so close! Maybe by the time I'm 30 I can achieve it? I think I'll try :)
