Where should I go?

I wrote to all 50 states for information about them. I have been getting back a lot of magazines and maps. The ones I love the most so far are from Utah, but Oklahoma sent the most stuff and I haven't looked at all of it yet.
I will be taking a virtual 50 state trip this summer with you. I will find somewhere interesting about each state and make a visit to it. I was wanting to do it in the order that I got the mail, but I've gotten so much that it's hard to keep track.
Check back often. I'll be travling all summer long.
You know how much it takes to travel across the world!
