In the summer of 2008, I completed a visit to all of the 50 United States. Considering when I was 20, I probably had only been to less than 10, I am excited that I accomplished the "50 by 50" goal. Some of these states were nothing more than a short drive on the way to another state, or a brief business trip, but many were enjoyed for an extended period of time. Madeline accomplished her goal in the fall of 2013.

 

Those states that have a specific vacation or getaway associated with them are marked with an asterisk, so click on the picture and you will be sent to the latest trip's page. Click on any other picture to enlarged it. Note my shot glass collection, too.
