Before setting off on our 50 state road trip, Shae and I lived in Virginia for about 7 years. We'd spent a fair bit of time exploring the state in the past, but we recently went back for about 6 weeks to explore it even more. Some of the activities we did were things we'd done … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Virginia

Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Rhode Island
Shae and I left Rhode Island last week after spending 10 days there on our 50 state road trip. We tend to spend an average of five weeks in each state seeing as we're doing this trip over the course of five years (although we might be having to extend that). That doesn't mean … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Rhode Island
Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Connecticut
Shae and I left Connecticut a week ago having spent 3.5 weeks there on our 50 state road trip. 3.5 weeks was longer than we needed as it turned out to be our least favorite state so far. The state didn't have much charm other than Mystic, the drivers are awful, it's expensive, … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Connecticut
Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Vermont
Shae and I recently left Vermont after spending 3 weeks during our 50 state road trip. Despite our last state - Kentucky - being our 12th state, Vermont wasn't our 13th. That's because we spent a week in Montpelier last year, so really it was our 5th state. We didn't have time … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Vermont
Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Kentucky

Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Kansas
Shae and I recently left Kansas after spending about 6 weeks there as the 11th state on our 5 year, 50 state road trip. My impression of the state before visiting had been that it might be a little boring. I was picturing prairie fields as far as the eye could see and not all … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Kansas
Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Texas
Shae and I recently left Texas having spent about 10 weeks in the 9th state on our 5 year, 50 state road trip. It was our first time properly visiting Texas as we'd only ever stopped overnight when driving through. Given how highly Texans regard the state, I had high hopes for … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Texas
Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Oklahoma
Shae and I recently left Oklahoma having spent about 3.5 weeks in the 8th state on our 5 year, 50 state road trip. We'd originally planned on spending closer to 4.5 weeks there, but we'd extended our time in Illinois by about a week, so that limited our time in the Sooner … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Oklahoma
Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Illinois

We'd been … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Illinois
Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Wisconsin

Neither of us had visited … [Read more...] about Here’s Our Best & Worst Things From Wisconsin
