The United States is made up of 50 different states and a handful of territories and like countries of the world, I have set it as a goal to visit all 50 states in my lifetime. I’ve done a good job of visiting the majority of the US, most of which has happened in what I consider my adult life (others my doubt how much of an adult I really am, but that is for another page).
