We have been recently been competing with Ryan and Dacia to see who has visited the most states. Ryan is in the lead and one ahead of me with 37 states as I sit pretty with 36. The rules are that you have to have set foot in that state--alas, airports don't count.
Well, Kate is only 11 weeks old and she already has seven states. She picked up Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming on our road trip and she just added Texas and Nebraska last week. What an experienced little traveler!
