Back in the summer of 2009 I posted a blog post noting that I had visited 38 of the 50 states. After realizing that I had visited almost 80% of the US, I made it a goal to visit all 50 states.

In March of this year, after a 2,500 mile family road trip I was able to mark Iowa, North Dakota, and Wisconsin off the list, leaving just Hawaii. On December 23rd, 2015, after arriving in Oahu, I was able to officially mark Hawaii off the list. That officially makes all 50 plus Washington DC, Mexico, Canada, and the Bahamas.

There are a couple of states on my list that are sketchy at best (South Carolina and Rhode Island, specifically) that I plan on revisiting. I’ve definitely driven through them on other trips, although I might not have done more than get gas or grab a burger. I didn’t count any states that I simply flew over or anything, but I did count the ones that I physically drove through.

You can check out all my state travels on this page. I tried documenting some of the things I did in each state and most of the entries have pictures, so be sure to click on your own state and see what I did there!

I have no idea what my future travel goals are, but I’m sure I will make some soon!
