What was the last state you visited? What did you do there? Would you go again if you could?
I am bi-coastal so California and New Jersey really don't count, so for me it would be New Hampshire. I took an apartment there for 5 months so I could travel the state and photograph all of the beautiful cover bridges the state has so lovingly preserved.
I would be happy to go again but during a different time of year so I could take pictures in a different setting.

I was born in Washington State, and moved to Georgia when I was 14yrs old. Me and my family drove there so we visited a few states along the way. My favorites places were Chicago, Illinois: I went to see the Sears Tower. I ate at the Rain Forest Cafe, which was awesome inside. They even have a Michael Jordan Restraunt, but I didn't eat there. I got to see the Chicago Bulls Stadium, which was cool, even though I'm not into sports. I visited Yellowstone National Park in Montana. Now, when I was 15, I moved back to my home state Washington. Again, we drove, and went a different route. I like Mitchell, South Dakota. It has this place called The Corn Palace. It was really cool. I even saw Mount Rushmore, which was cool. I would love to go visit there again. I didn't get to see it too well since it was getting dark. In Badlands, North Dakota, I stayed at this motel called The Bates Motel. It was the middle of nowhere, and being 15, I thought of the movie Psycho. LOL! We also saw this twister forming, which was scary. It was dark, heavy, touching the ground from the sky, and believe me, we drove off as fast as we could. We camcorded it. I should find it, and find a way to get it on here. This is the stuff that comes to mind. As for the last state I visited, it was Idaho. My dad lives there!

I can think of 2 places I ended up in that I did not plan on. Both were Very interesting. The first was Northfield Minnesota. I was traveling across the country and I see a sign on the interstate that says....Northfield..that way. So, I go that way....Hoping of course that it is the right Northfield....gotta be a thousand of them in the States. Well....yup, it's the right one.
So here I am in the last bank that was robbed by Jesse James, his cousins the Youngers....and a few others....far-out!!! The bank is about the size of the Charmed Ones dinning-room. I doubt much of the building has change since 1876 when the James/Younger's traveled into town.
For those who would like to see a rather good Hollyrock version of the Northfield Raid, check out "The Long Riders". It stars 3 sets of brothers, (Carradine, Keach and Quaid) playing 3 sets of brothers....good adaptation. Few errors if you check your history books...
The second place I was somewhat surprised to be in was Roswell, New Mexico. Aliens anyone? The place is crawling with them. The museum type place on the main street is both interesting and amusing. If not for the arrival of folks from another planet...I doubt Roswell would get much notice....unless of course you are a big Demi Moore fan....

Well....Lets see when I was 3/4 years old I went to Dallas, Texas...unfortunately I dont remember anything!
Then over the years we have have been to Spain about 5-6 times Portugal once Bulgaria 1 once
Just recently been to Florida which was amazing!
I think in the summer of 2010 we are going back to Texas because I have cousins there and I soooooooo can't wait!
Also can I just say that one of my dream places is to go to California and also visit other parts of America because America is my dream place to be and not England which is annoying!

The last state I visited was Illinois when Primrose_Empath traveled from Indianapolis and I traveled from Minneapolis (we're the 'Apolis Girls) and toured Chicago. We spent most of it sitting on top of a double decker bus, looping around the Loop aka downtown Chicago. We also had lunch in Millennium Park (Chicago-style hot dogs, of course!) and dinner at my favorite restaurant there--Italian Village. I've been to Chicago many times in the past and that was one of my favorite visits there. Of course, the company had a lot to do with that!
I go to Chicago at least once a year and see no reasons to stop doing that any time soon.

Well lets see I've been Fort Lauderdale, Florida like two or three times (I can't remember). I love it! It's so much fun we take there boat out on the canal that's in there backyard and go to the beach. They also have a pool in their backyard and that's a lot of fun. I've also been to North Wildwood, New Jersey also two or three times I also love i there! My Aunt and Uncle live about five minutes from the beach and we always walk down there. The boardwalk is also very close so we spend a lot of time there too. I went to California two years ago for Cheer Nationals. I liked it there a lot but we didn't get to do much their because the competition took up a lot of my time since it was two days. This year I went to Virginia Beach, Virginia for Cheer Nationals. I liked it here a lot. Me and my cheer friends went to the beach a lot and we hung out a in the hotel rooms. This competition was only one day so we got to do more. And then we also went to dinner with my entire team and coaches. That was fun too, but my coaches we're being dumb and kinda ruined it.

As I'm not American, I'll replace your states with countries cause our counties just really aren't big enough to compare with states. So, my favourite place I have been to has to be Spain. It's such a beautiful country and the weather is perfect. Plus it always felt more laid back than other countries I've been, there so much more relaxed and they still have that nice community type countries which our country lost decades ago. After the war I guess. Somewhere I really want to go to is Greece - Corfu, Rhodes, Kos and Crete are the places I have been looking at going too. While I want to go visit Athens, not sure I'd like to holiday there! lol
