In the coming weeks, I’ll be doing a fair amount of traveling - something I always enjoy.  First up is a JMB gig in Illinois.  It’s a campus ministries retreat for Vincinnes University, and we’re leading worship all weekend.  We went last year and had a great time.  We’re very much looking forward to it.

The following weekend, I’ll be off to Minnesota for the Desiring God conference.  I’ve never been to Minnesota, so it’ll be a new experience for me.

Here’s a list of states I’ve visited (excluding states I’ve “passed through”):

1. Kentucky (where I live, of course)
2. Ohio (used to live there, visit often)
3. Tennessee (lots of trips to Tennessee, unfortunately)
4. Indiana (lots of trips to the Hoosier state, unfortunately)
5. New York (senior trip)
6. Pennsylvania (trip to Gettysburg)
7. Illinois (JMB gigs)
8. Virginia (DMB concert in Charlottesville, vacation to Virginia Beach)
9. North Carolina (vacation to Raleigh)
10. South Carolina (vacations to Myrtle Beach)
11. Florida (lots of trips to Florida)
12. Georgia (vacation to Atlanta)
13. Alabama (vacation to Birmingham, maybe another trip or two?)
14. Louisiana (vacation to New Orleans when I was a baby)
15. Oklahoma (college band trip to Tulsa)
16. Missouri (several trips to St. Louis)
17. Okay…not a state…but it counts - Washington, D.C. (SCB performance for GWB’s first inauguration, and a trip to see Jeremy when he was in grad school)

It’s interesting that I’ve never stayed or visited West Virginia - I’ve only passed through.  Also, I’ve been in Michigan for all of a couple of hours.  On a trip to Taiwan a few years ago, I had a layover in the Detroit airport.

I find it disappointing that I haven’t visited half of the United States.  Hmm… gotta work on that…
