STATES


Around the time our children were born in the early 2000s, we set a goal to visit all 50 states with them before they had graduated high school. In December of 2015 the four of us took a cruise to Hawaii, thus marking off the 50th and final state of our list.

On this page you can click on each state and see when I first visited it, when I last visited it, and perhaps a picture or two from my visit. With every trip I am always looking to see new places, so check back often. A few of states (Connecticut, Delaware, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Utah) have relatively vague entries. I owe these states a second visit.

Latest update: In the summer of 2023, Susan and I drove from Oklahoma to Minnesota and back. I just updated Minnesota, Kansas, and Iowa.
