create your own visited states map
or check out these Google Hacks.

Holy sad looking states. For better ones look here and here the first of which, incidentally, is where I stole this meme from.

The meme is this: "Recount a one-line anecdote for each state you have visited [and then demand that others do the same]."

You'll notice how quickly mine will pass as opposed to others.

CA: Saw Barry Manilow's star on the walk of fame.
CT: Saw childlike drawings on sale in a cafe for $400, came home and reproduced drawings for less than $20 (including paint).
DC: Did a whirlwind driving tour of all the monuments and stopped briefly to see Mr. Lincoln.
FL: Arrived at Miami hotel in September praying the pool was open at midnight, turns out it was open all night, heaven.
GA: After listening to O Canada by Rush, Terrence, and Phillip for the 15th time, slammed on the brakes in the middle of a 6 lane highway to wake all passengers and get a cd change.
IL: After attending a great wedding/reception listened to a college student complain that out of state tuition was almost $8000 per year. Told him, I'd give my left arm to pay only $8000 per year.
IN: Drove through at an average of 90 mph with the radar detectors absolutely silent until we hit Indianapolis at which point they went insane.
MD: Relaxed on the pier at my friend's office in a hammock across from the main center of inner harbor.
MA: Went from 0 baby experience to being able to babysit in one weekend flat.
NJ: Held off for 30 years and then had to visit Tom.
NY: Had my wedding reception here after being married in PA.
NC: Had a "Code Red" emergency here during a trip to the Tangerine Bowl.
OH: Pounded on Terri's dorm door at 5 AM in the pouring rain to drop off her contacts while wondering why the hell everyone was asleep.
PA: Too many to recount since this is home base.
RI: Went to a House of Satan in Providence and watched Alison buy some season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer thus uniting dislikes and opening the Hellmouth I believe.
SC: Where every gas pump was full at 1 AM.
TN: Saw perhaps the widest range of people and socioeconomic backgrounds ever at a Nascar race in Bristol.
VA: Actually visited Winchester on a whim.
