Recently, I got a hair-brained idea that I should visit all 50 states before I turn 50 years old. I’m all about more travel, so this may just be an excuse to travel more, but I do like the idea of a neat bucket list like this.

So, what constitutes visiting a state? Driving through for one. You see so much of the landscape, to me, it counts. A layover on a plane doesn’t count.
Eating in a state is a bonus, and certainly sightseeing and staying for an extended time counts.
