30 Before 30

For some reason the other day, I decided to count up all of the states I have visited. Don't ask why I did it because I truly have no idea but I did.

By my best calculations, I have visited 25 states. For purposes of my calculations, I did not count those I have only touched down in via airplane (ex. Texas) or those that I merely passed through without an actual "experience" taking place (ex. Kentucky).

Here is my list:

Alabama

California

Delaware

Florida

Georgia

Illinois

Indiana

Maryland

Michigan

Nevada

New Hampshire

Connecticut

New York

North Carolina

Ohio

Oklahoma

Pennsylvania

South Carolina

Tennessee

Virginia

West Virginia

Wisconsin

Wyoming

Arkansas

Mississippi

The only one of these that I didn't actually do anything but drive into was Mississippi. It is included because people were with me and I'm still mad that we would not find the Welcome to Mississippi sign yet we were definitely in Mississippi.

So since I have figured this out I have decided to try and visit 30 states before I turn 30.

If your state isn't on this list then leave a comment to tell me why I should visit :) And tell me how many states you have visited.

I'm Committed

Or maybe I should be committed?

On Friday I clicked the payment button for this:

And no I'm not an idiot. I do realize it is 6 months away however knowing my hotel is booked and the race is paid for means

THERE IS NO TURNING BACK NOW.

This race will be run right at 4 years since my last half. My goal is to do much better than the mess that was that race.

I have been promised that this course is mostly flat unlike that one which was all hills including a one mile climb to the finish. No bueno.

I'm so excited about this race and visiting Savannah!

A Hidden Gem

Somewhere in the mountains of NC there is a hidden gem. A spa where you can hang out with some of your best girlfriends and have a good time.

A couple of weekends ago this was exactly where we headed. It was as relaxing this year as it was last year.

Please excuse my cheesetastic face. That my friends is not cute as you can very well see.

Spring was in full bloom. I was informed that these are not in fact Peonies. Whatever those are....

We enjoyed the sunset from the porch of our cabin. Isn't it beautiful?

We will definitely be back next year. What a relaxing place to get away and relax!

Happy May!

We hope all of you are enjoying the warm weather and pretty green grass!

Except you Melissa :)
