Just for Fun...Where Have You Been?

Here's a bit of fun for a Sunday evening. Where in the US have you been? Over at Reviews & Reflections, Heidi put where she's visited so I thought it would be fun to see "in lights" (haha, or at least color) where I've been. 

When I look at this I'm surprised how many states I've been to! Now, honestly most of these I've only driven through and at least stopped for fuel while on the way to another state/location. But I'm including it anyway! I can recall every state....uh, with the exception of Mississippi. I visited there when I was very little and have no recollection of it. I'm sure we went through Tennessee but I didn't include it...maybe I should have... oh well :)

Oh and to play along with the others (sometimes I play well...other times not so well!), tell some of the favorite places and a little bit about them:

1. Custer State Park, Black Hills, South Dakota-
Love, love, love this area! I am from Oregon and will always be 'from' Oregon but South Dakota rivals it as my second favorite state for beauty. We've gone a few times camping (ahem, cabining- it's not 'camping' if your not in a tent my kids say...) and I can't wait to go again and again.

2. Xenia, Dayton, & Middletown, Ohio-
Although these places might not be very pretty they hold a special place in my heart because I spent a lot of my younger years between them. And the trees....love the different types of deciduous trees.

3. OREGON-
Although this is #3, it's really #1 for me :) Anywhere in Oregon is great for me!! Washington is nice as well ;) But I really love Southern Oregon (Medford, Central Point, Grants Pass area) and hope to someday move there to stay.

Want to make your own map of where you've been? Check out epgSoft Visited States Map. They also have Canada and Mexico maps :) Hmm maybe I'll make a goal to get to every state :) ...someday.
