When I was a kid, my favorite was Wyoming. The Buffalo museum was one of my most fave memories, along with Yellowstone. I had four other siblings that would have rather gone to a water park, but Dad let us go there because I wanted to. When we woke up in the motor home that morning, I asked where we were, and he said, "a tomato farm," because I hated raw tomatoes as a kid.
I also liked Ketchikan, Alaska. I was there during the salmon run, and caught a huge halibut.

Let's see if I can list them from memory;
Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Colorado, Wyoming, Hawaii, Louisiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin & Oklahoma. I can't decide on just ONE favorite, but my favorites are the mountain states - Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and Washington. My husband is a beach man and I'm a mountain woman!

My favorite of all states was Minnesota. I LOVED it there.

Let's see..
Ohio KY TN IN WV GA FLA SC NC VA PA WI MD IL MIS KAN COL UT NV CA TX LA NM AZ WY ND SD
I think my favorite is Wisconsin Great food yummy cheese and yes, real cheese DOES taste different- and the people are so nice
I kind of miss California-the desert part, NOT any of the cities although they are fun just to visit
This Summer we'll be taking hubby to Wyoming for his first visit. For a small town farm boy, I think it will blow his mind. MY family and I vacationed through the Southwest back in the 80's. Brother and I were ratty kids, so this time the sheer expanse and beauty of it all won't be lost. Back then the Badlands were fun for us. Good memories there. And of course...good 'ole Ohio where I'm from-more specificall Cincinnati I think most folks there are nice and the city has a ton to do. Pity most farms closer to the KY side are disappearing. The cows and cornfields across from my old highschool are now long gone. And can't forget FLA where beaching with my brother and his family is always a great time
As far as other countries go. I have been to Africa- -2 weeks worth and Australia -for an entire month. I'd go back to OZ in a heartbeat. Africa is really neat, but there's too much unrest. |

I've been to every state along the east coast, from Maine to Florida. I've been to Colorado, Washington state, California, Ohio and Illinois. I enjoyed the northwest part of the country.

Let's see: Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. I think that's all. It's hard picking out one favorite, each place has it's own merits and beauties. One area I'm looking forward to visiting is the New England area, I've always wanted to go there in the fall. I also want to travel more out west, it looks so beautiful out there.
I've also been to Canada, Belgium, Sweden (I lived there for a short time), and Finland.

| I've only been to western states- I've never been any further east than Wisconsin. Wisconsin is one of my favorites- it is so beautiful! I also like Nevada and Arizona- it's nice to see something so different from Iowa. I used to live in Mesa when I was a kid, so that scenery kind of reminds me of my childhood. |

Well, I've never been off the west coast. I've lived in California, Oregon and Washington and my sis lives in Kelowna, British Columbia so I've been there too. I've visited MaryJane in Moscow Idaho. That's it. I would love to have a small motor home and just let my Gypsy blood roll. MB

Having been a Military Brat(daddy was career Army) it would be easier to list what few states I have not been to....and did most of our traveling in a blue Ford Country Squire station wagon....boy does that ever date me!
Daddy was an avid stream fisherman so we did a lot of camping in our VW Van. Even made it up to Canada.
Half my youth was spent living in Germany(my mother is from Germany)I grew up living both on & off military bases & loved it,,,but secretly yearned for the "Mayberry" type of life, and now here I am (sort of) it's not Mayberry, but I have my little house on 5 acres, my hubby who is out in his "Man Cave" stripping a chair for me and my daughter & SIL just up the road and some of the most wonderful neighbors around us.
I don't think I can choose what state I loved best as I have found a little something to fall in love with every where I have been.
One of these days I hope to travel to Alaska & Hawaii....hummm I think Summer in Alaska & Winter in Hawaii would be just fine!!!
Wunderlust!
