I’ve stated in my About Me page that I was lucky enough to travel a lot as a kid. We would spend weeks in a van exploring America, much like I’m doing now. I thought it would be fun to make a few maps to show my accomplishments thus far and the scope of the trip. I’m only counting states I remember. My parents have told me I’ve been to Wyoming and Missouri but since I don’t remember them, I’m not counting them. I have no reason to doubt my parents…but I do. I’ve seen a picture of little me in front of Mt. Rushmore but since I don’t remember it, I’m not including South Dakota.

This first map is to show the states I know I’ve been to so far. Some I’ve spent weeks in, others I’ve merely driven through. I’d still say it’s a good showing. I’ve obviously done a good bit of traveling east of the Mississippi. You can probably see the route I took last time I drove across the US.

One of my life goals is to actually sleep in all 50 states. According to my memory, this is how I’m doing.
