State 17: Connecticut | Mystic

Growing up in Westchester, New York, Connecticut was always only a hop, skip and a jump away. We could easily venture on a quick drive or short Metro North train ride to Greenwich to go to dinner or a boutique. I even interned at a media agency in Stamford for two summers in college, and … Continue reading State 17: Connecticut | Mystic →

State 16: West Virginia | Harper’s Ferry

This state really is wild and wonderful. For over a year I've wanted to go to Harper's Ferry and either the weather wasn't cooperating or we always had other plans. A couple weeks ago in early March we finally decided to go. I visited West Virginia for the first time back in 2012 when I … Continue reading State 16: West Virginia | Harper’s Ferry →

State 15: Massachusetts | Boston

For my fiancé’s thirtieth birthday, I gifted him a trip to Boston. I had been a few times before when I was young, but not in my adult life. Now that he has adopted my dream of visiting all the states, this was the perfect gift as it was one of the closest states he … Continue reading State 15: Massachusetts | Boston →

State 14: Pennsylvania | Philadelphia

Apologies for the delay in blog posts as I have been quite busy starting a new job and in full swing with wedding planning. This post is about the state where I got engaged! If you’ve been reading my other posts, you know my strong affinity for zoos. I love visiting them in every state … Continue reading State 14: Pennsylvania | Philadelphia →

State 13: Arkansas | Little Rock

I will start out by saying that Little Rock is my favorite small city. Whenever I am asked what has been my favorite new state trip, my instinctual answer is always Little Rock. While this destination may not be at the top of the bucket list for many travelers, my advice would be to definitely … Continue reading State 13: Arkansas | Little Rock →

State 12: Arizona | Phoenix

Phoenix Cactus Papago Park

I've been fortunate enough to visit Phoenix a few times, both for work and for vacation. My grandma lives in Arizona so this post will highlight the adventures we went on together when I visited. One of the main highlights was the Hole in the Rock in Papago Park. I am not a hiker by … Continue reading State 12: Arizona | Phoenix →

State 11: Louisiana | Baton Rouge and New Orleans

I'm going back some years ago to document this trip. All photos were taken on my iPhone 4 so they are not of the best quality. After we graduated college, a good friend took a job in Baton Rouge. That following February, several friends and I decided to go visit him the weekend before Mardi … Continue reading State 11: Louisiana | Baton Rouge and New Orleans →

State 10: South Carolina | Charleston

Charleston was the first installment of my now yearly trips with my college roommate. The city has become such a popular destination, so we wanted to check it out. While we had an amazing time, it wasn't my favorite city I have visited, contrary to popular opinion. I like to find those "hidden gem" cities … Continue reading State 10: South Carolina | Charleston →

State 9: Missouri | Saint Louis

I’ve been to Saint Louis twice. Well technically three times since I was at the airport on a layover once, but that doesn’t really count. This post will combine both my visits to the "Show Me" state. My first visit was with my boyfriend on one of our long weekend new state trips. At the … Continue reading State 9: Missouri | Saint Louis →

State 8: Indiana | Clarksville

This post will be pretty short since I did not spend too much time in Indiana. We took a quick trip over the bridge from Louisville, Kentucky to Clarksville, Indiana.  I did some research ahead of my Louisville trip because I knew I was going to be so close to another new state – Indiana. … Continue reading State 8: Indiana | Clarksville →
