The Grand US of A

The first week of July always makes me think because in just a short month, it will be my birthday! I'm a Leo baby and was born on August 1st. I always think about what I've done in the last year and what I want to continue to do throughout my life. The good Lord has blessed me beyond measure and allowed me to do something that I'm passionate about which is, travel! I decided to start working on an item on my bucket list which is visiting every state in the US. The key to this is I have to actually visit the state, not drive through it, not land there at an airport but visit! So far, I've done 24 which is obviously almost half although, I'm pretty proud of myself! If I visit one new state each year for the rest of my life that means by age 51 I will have visited every single state (you do the math on my age). In saying that, it's a new goal of mine to at least visit one new state a year, if I could see more that would be great! It would be so cool if I could double up at least one year and then be able to say I've seen all 50 states by the age of 50! I've made myself a map of what states I've seen, check it out.. what do you think?! What state should I go to next and what's your favorite place to go in the US?!

PS- If my Father in Law is reading this, he has promised to take the family to Hawaii one day, I'm holding him to it.
