Michigan
First time: Spring, 2010Last time: Spring, 2015
My first two stops in Michigan barely counted. The first time was on a long road trip that led me from Boston to Chicago, and the second was on a train ride from New York City to Chicago. Neither time did I truly stop or get to experience the city. I only like to count states that I stop and do something in, which is why I didn't like counting this one.
On our Spring vacation in 2015 we drove north to visit North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. On the first night of our trip we stayed at a nice hotel right off of Lake Michigan in Michigan. I can finally mark Michigan off my list.
