I'm curious, do you have "rules" about visiting states? Like, what counts? Does driving through it count? Do you need to spend the night there? Have a meal there? Just curious as this question has come up in my household before, so I'm curious what your definition is.
THAT is a great question Jester!!! I wondered the same thing, but I wanted to tack one on as well. How do you travel? RV, car or plane?
It's funny - this is a topic of debate! I count them if I drive through, go to the bathroom, have a meal. As in, you can't just have a layover at the airport in a state and say you've been there. You have to actually experience something! And I weigh different states differently. As in, if you're traveling across Pennsylvania and dip into NY state to have a meal, can you really say you have "been" to NY? As opposed to if you are in Colorado and do a day trip into Nebraska and spend a few hours there. So really, it's subjective. Some of the sparser states, I have counted driving across it since I have stopped for a meal and to go to the bathroom. But again, it's subjective.
My missing states are:
Hawaii
Alaska
Maine
NH
Vermont
Rhode Island
Oklahoma
New Mexico
North Dakota
South Dakota
The only states I have "counted" but haven't visited/spent a night in are Kansas, Nebraska, Montana and Wyoming. I have driven through or done day trips to those states. All other states I have slept in.
