I think it would be so cool to visit -- not land in, or fly over, or drive though, but visit -- each of our fifty states during my lifetime. And while every state has its bad, they all have their unique, quirky, and one-of-a-kind draws and characteristics. What was your favorite thing about the state you grew up in, or about a state you've lived in or visited? Was it a place, the weather, the food, the men (or ladies) that made it so great? What do you love about where you live now? Add them all here!

Coors Brewery, proud makers of Coors Light, Killian's Irish Red and ZIMA amongst others, is the largest single site brewery in the world. Visitors will learn the company's history through artifacts on display in the lobby and will then experience the brewery first hand from the malting process to product packaging. The tour ends at the bar where visitors can sample a variety of beverages or purchase items from the well stocked gift shop. The brewery is located on the eastern edge of Golden, near Vanover Park.

The Road to Hana

No trip to Maui is complete without renting a car and driving the 68-mile stretch of “highway” (if you can call two — sometimes one — ultra-narrow lanes that wind and climb through a rainforest a highway) to the town of Hana. The views are breathtaking, and the many hidden waterfalls you’ll see are beautiful.

Ri Ra the Irish Pub & Rest

72 Commercial St, Portland, ME 04101

Ri Ra is one of the coziest, most authentic Irish pubs I’ve ever been in. There is the main bar/dining area, but go through a side door and you think you’re in Ireland: think a dark room with wooden tables and chairs and thick Irish accents. A must-visit!

Old coastal towns

Massachusetts is steeped in history, and its small coastal towns symbolize it all. From spots like Marblehead, Glouchester, and Newburyport on the north shore, to Scituate and Cohasset on the south shore, these quaint towns and cities have winding streets, much of the original architecture, and great little downtown areas where some of the country’s first settlers built their communities. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else but coastal Massachusetts!

UNH in the Winter

Yes it’s cold as anything living in New Hampshire in the winter. But I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for the campus at the University of New Hampshire in the winter. Everything is so pretty after a fresh snow and it just felt like home to me.

Kaleidoworld, Mt. Tremper, New York

I’ve lived in New York City for 5+ years, but it’s got nothing on a little place called Kaleidoworld upstate! Nothin’! Home to the world’s largest AND smallest kaleidoscopes, it makes everything else in life look boring. You really haven’t lived till you see ’em…

The Great Pierogi Race in Pittsburgh

PA or bust! Born and raised in the steel town of Pittsburgh, the only thing to get you through the always terrible seasons the Pirates (baseball) have is the Pierogi races. Makes me laugh every time!

Seeing Massive Mt. Rainier in Seattle

Amazing that this ACTIVE volcano sits so tall and visible from many areas of Seattle. I lived in South Seattle, and you would turn a corner and the mountain would fill up like almost half all of your windshield… yet, it was still hours away from the base… Beautiful… Until it explodes again, but until then, beautiful!
