The fifty nifty United States

I wanted to visit all 7 continents by age 30 (and I did it!)
Now my goal is all 50 states by age 40 (working on it!) 

I've now been to 38 of the 50 states and, the other day, I was trying to put the states in the order in which I visited them. This might not be entirely accurate, but it's gotta be close!

Sadly some of my first 20 states never got a blog post. Was blogging even a thing 30 years ago?? Maybe I will remedy that soon... 

**Some states have specific attractions listed while others have cities listed. The cities usually have a ton of things to see/do and I didn't feel like I could list everything!
