I was looking at a map of the US last night with my son showing him the different places I have been and when it was all said and done, I realized that I've been to 40 of the 50 states in the US.

Most favorite, Alaska
Least favorite, Texas

Still need to hit the upper mid western states and Hawaii

How many states have you visited?

31.  I haven't visited very much of the South at all (outside of Virginia and Florida), but I've hit most of the Northern states.

I've been to 45.  Only missed Hawaii and Alaska, and Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota in the continental U.S. (and one of these summers I'll get up there).

Favorites:  Arizona and California.  Oregon and Washington are gorgeous in their short dry summers, but I couldn't hack the other nine months of overcast gloom.

Least faves:  Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama (miserable humidity and pretty flat)

Also, the plains states of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas are really flat and boring terrain (I like mountains).
