50 States!

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

I've now been to 44 of the 50 states and this is my attempt at 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 16 states never got a blog post. Was blogging even a thing 30 years ago?? I will try and remedy that soon...
