50 in Fifty

  • Percentage of States Visited 66%

Growing up it was important to my parents that we take a week long family vacation each summer.  Nothing extravagant and always road trips. They also frequently involved a learning experience for my brother and me; whether it was a visit to a Civil War battlefield or the Smithsonian.  I don’t recall when the travel bug bit me, I was too young to realize what was happening, or perhaps I was just born with the bug.  Several years ago with said bug firmly entrenched in my DNA, I decided my goal is to make it to all 50 States by the time I am 50.

Follow along as I aim to visit all 50 States by the time I’m fifty years old!

States I have visited thus far are in green.

Not so Bright and Early

Kentucky

Venturing across the Ohio River into Kentucky (go ahead and get any jokes out of the way now).  If you love horses, cars, and nature then this is the State for you. Kentucky is famously home to both Churchill Downs, where the Kentucky Derby is held each year, and the...
