26 and 13

As of this week, I have been to 26 states and Ryan and I have been to 13 states together! We're spending Christmas in Washington with Ryan's parents. Their recent move puts me more than halfway to my United States goal and brings me so much closer to seeing all of the states in the northwest. One of my life goals is to set foot in every state and to make it even more fun, I have something I want to do when I get there. For example, Portland, Oregon, is only 3 hours away and I've been craving a Voodoo Donut for years! We're only 5 hours away from the Idaho border and I'm looking forward to having a genuine Idaho potato in Idaho in the near future. My goal for Washington was to have a toasty beverage at the first Starbucks. I accomplished that goal yesterday with a salted caramel hot cocoa at the Pike's Place Market in Seattle while we stocked up on fish for our seven fishes Christmas Eve dinner.

Here's a list of the states I have yet to visit-- any additional suggestions for what I should do when I finally get there?

1. Idaho- eat a potato
2. Oregon- Voodoo Donut and visit a ghost town
3. South Carolina- carriage ride (going this February and I'm so excited!)
4. South Dakota- Mt Rushmore
5. Kentucky- ride a horse (I've never been riding!)
6. Hawaii- eat a fresh pineapple
7. Alaska- stand on a glacier
8. Maine- eat fresh lobster
9. Minnesota- buy something at the Mall of America
10. Illinois- eat deep dish pizza in Chicago
11. Louisiana- listen to the blues in New Orleans
12. Mississippi- go to a crawfish boil
13. Alabama- eat fresh Gulf shrimp
14. Colorado- ski lesson in Aspen
15. Utah- go rock climbing
16. Kansas- see the Wizard of Oz house in Liberal
17. New Hampshire- buy Tupperware
18. North Carolina- eat a Krispy Kreme
19. North Dakota- stand at the center of the United States in Rugby
20. Rhode Island- have a drink at the White Horse Tavern
21. Wisconsin- eat an ice cream sundae on Sunday
22. Nebraska- ???
23. Montana- ???
24. Wyoming- ???

Anyone want to join me for some random weekend getaways?

So far behind!

We haven't put a post up in forever! Sorry! We've been so busy and when I've had the energy to write, I've had to use it to write wedding thank you cards. I have a goal to finish the thank you cards so I can send Christmas cards before Christmas. Happy Holidays everyone! I love the hustle and bustle of the holiday season!
