50 States in 50 Weeks Challenge

Welcome to our 50 States in 50 Weeks journey!

Selling decals to every corner of the country has given us the travel bug. Although my husband and I have seen 20+ states over the years, we're starting from scratch to share every moment with our kids. This page will be continuously updated with our progress, showcasing stats, a gallery of photos, upcoming plans, lists of National Parks, attractions, monuments, museums, funky restaurants, cool places to stay, etc. Join us as we rediscover America, one state at a time, creating memories and exploring the wonders of each destination.

Thank you for being part of our adventure starting March 2024 through March 2025! #50States50Weeks
