visit all 50 states before i am 30

Texas and Mississippi are now added to my list of stated visited. That brings my total to 16 visited, 34 remaining. Oklahoma is probably next.

Over Labor Day weekend I drove from New Jersey to Colorado, spending a significant amount of time in a few states I’d never seen before – Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Nebraska. That’s four more down. I’ll definitely be spending a few weeks in Texas also, so that’s a total of five new states before the year is up. While I’m in Colorado, maybe I can zip up to Wyoming and check out Cheyenne… 14.5 states down, 35.5 remaining. My birthday is in a few weeks, so that means I’ll have four years left. Here’s hoping…

I have visited – Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. I was in Virginia for business for a weekend, but I didn’t get to actually do anything other than work. So I’m at 10.5. I’m 25 and 1/2. 4 and a half years for 40 states? Is it even doable?
