This is it! My HUGE travel goal of visiting all the states is up this weekend. I did it! As of Sunday, I will be able to say I have visited all 50 states.
I leave Sunday for my first trip to Hawaii. We are visiting Oahu and the Big Island. I will be working on my national parks list while there, with trips to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, War of the Pacific Valor National Monument, and the National Historical Parks/Sites on the Big Island. I have a few state parks on my list, as well as some amazing adventures, like swimming with Manta Rays.
Obviously, my journey across this amazing country is not over. Because while I have visited every state, I have not seen everything that each state has to offer. I still have plenty of national park units to explore, small cities, art towns and everything in between to explore. I honestly don't think I will ever truly be done seeing all the amazing things there are to see in the US... we are the 3rd biggest country in the world, that is a lot to cover. And that is why this journey has been so amazing. Forests to deserts, cities to mountain towns, sweeping vistas to incredible geologic formations, amazing wildlife to welcoming locals, this has been a epic adventure. And I am capping it off with the 50th state.
So, I will catch up on the flip side.
And when I get back, we can talk about my next travel bucket lists - the territories, the neighbors, the natural gems.
