This American Life

I've often said that at some point, I'd really like to visit all fifty states. Ideally, I would see at least one point of interest in each one; in other words, sitting in the Minneapolis airport for a couple of hours doesn't count. Since the beginning of the year is always a fun time to get organizational stuff done, here's the list as it stands. Crossed out states are well and visited. Parenthetical states can technically be checked off the list, but it would be better to go back and see more (witness the short drive and corn purchase in North Carolina). The rest I have never set foot in, unless it was one of those disqualified layovers or something similar.

Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
(Arkansas)
California
Colorado
Connecticut
(Delaware)
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
(North Carolina)
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
(West Virginia)
Wisconsin
Wyoming

And for good measure...Washington, D.C.

Now, let's get to work on crossing more off the list. Road trip, anyone?

God, I really need to do a better job of banking my vacation days, so I can do a 2- or 3-week cross-country road trip. Driving from New Mexico to New York was one of the best times I've ever had.
