My father in law always comments about the amazing places we go, about how much of the country we see. Just last week my mother asked exactly how many of the 50 states I’ve been too. At the time the answer was 44. I have yet to visit Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Idaho and at the time Maine.
Our recent trip to Portland, ME has knocked that one off of the list. I guess now I’m a little more motivated to hit them all, especially Alaska. This is actually a fun game we like to play with people, trying to figure out all the places they’ve been. Most of the time when we start something thinks it’s a low number but after actually listing them out….it gets higher. I have a list in the back of my datebook of all the states and check them off as I go throughout the year.
Just to know, Josh only has Alaska left.

I’ve got Alaska and Hawaii on you but I miss some of those Northwestern states.
