I need something to do.

After four plus years of not taking a vacation, I decided it was time to take a few days off and do something I had not done before. I normally take a day off of work on my birthday (just a single day) each year. I decided this year to take an entire week away from work. Well actually, 7 days off of work. So on May 12th after work, I will officially be taking a full fledged vacation, and will finally have more than 2 work days in a row away from my desk. So, what am I going to do that's different? Since all of my friends are tied down by at least one ball and chain - this has to be a solo adventure. What is something I can do alone without it seeming that way? Then looking at an atlas where I marked off states I haven't visited yet, it hit me. Lets move all the states out west that you haven't been to yet from your unvisited list to your visited list. What states are still on the unvisited list? Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Which ones should I move from the "U" list to the "V" list? Solution: All of them!
