50 State Bucket List...My Turn!

So now it's my turn to share my bucket list.  My list is pretty pitiful compared to Ben's, his family was able to travel a lot more than mine growing up (Ben's dad worked for Delta Airlines).  I am so thrilled that I married someone who likes to travel.  I condsider myself a lover of traveling, but Ben begs to differ.  Unlike most, I have no desire to travel to many places around the globe.  Quite frankly,the thought of traveling to most foreign places scares the living daylights out of me.  Still, there are plenty of places I'd like to see before I kick the bucket (hah). 

Here's my slightly less exciting list:

States I haven't been to (ranking of where I'd like to visit):


Washington--5

Colorado--4

Maine--6

Nevada--2

Hawaii--1

Massachusetts (sp?)--3

Vermont--7

New Mexico--8

Arizona--9

The following are the states I haven't been too but not really sure if I'll ever have a desire to visit them:


West Virginia
Delaware
New Hampshire
Conneticutt
Michigan
Indiana
Ohio
Iowa
Idaho
Kansas
Nebraska (only if Ole Miss ever makes it to the College World Series)
Oklahoma
Wisconsin
Minnesota
North/South Dakota
Oregon
Utah
Alaska
Wyoming

I might have left 1 or 2 out, at my age, its hard to remember all 50 states.

Most beautiful state visited:

Kentucky---Random, I know but the hills & trees, It really surprised me.

Ugliest state visited:
Tie between New Jersey & Louisiana- Both make me proud to be a Mississippian (and that says a lot, haha)

State I'd most like to visit again:
California--I want to visit the vineyards, and San Diego, and see more of LA & Hollywood.

State I'd least like to visit again:
Missouri--these folks don't know if they are yankees or southerners...plus it's just an extension of Arkansas

Southernmost point visited:
Sarasota/Tampa, FL---whichever is more southern

Northernmost point visited:
Kalispell, Montana

Coldest place visited:
Chicago, IL---I would love to live there if it wasn't for their wretched winters

Hottest place visited:
All the places in Florida

State with the best cuisine:
California, hands down.

State with the worst cuisine:
New Jersey--I can't imagine anything from that state being edible.


See? I told you it wasn't very exciting.  This was a fun post to write and it brought back many good memories.
