26 states (and the District Of Columbia) lie entirely east of the Great Mississippi River, and I’ve set foot in all but a handful of them.
Here are the TOP 5 states that I have not set foot in, but would love to some day:
5. Vermont – I’d love to stay at the historic Stratford Inn and hang out for awhile with Dick and Joanna, Michael and Stephanie, George, Larry, his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl. (I’m sure that Vermont is just like “Newhart“.)
4. Rhode Island – As a little kid I ventured into the southeastern corner of Delaware every Summer that we visited Ocean City Maryland (just across the border). Delaware’s the 2ND smallest state in the Union. I want to visit the tiniest state of them all.
3. Massachusetts – I know a lot of people from Boston. The’re mostly on TV and in the movies. I’d like to be a tourist for a long weekend in the big city that they all came from.
2. Maine – I’ve been to the southern terminus of both I-95 and U.S. 1 many times. I’d love to see where it all starts. I’d also love to visit Eastport and watch the first sunrise of the nation.
1. New York – In my 41+ years on God’s Great Earth I’ve never been to the city so nice they named it twice – New York, New York. I want to spend an entire week there and just sightsee !

These are the most beautiful states..These are the New England states.
One of my sisters (i do have 3) moved to RI when I was a senior in High School
I flew out that summer into Boston. What a cool place. They had a boat
and we went out almost everyday. She lived in Warren, RI. Bristol was where
we went for the Traditional 4th of July Parade…home town & good ol’ folks..
She was blessed and able to live there for 4 yrs.
I hope to visit Maine & Vermont..(in the Spring or Summer) ofcourse…
The snow up there is brutal.
