Over my 47 years, I’ve done my fair share of travelling across these United States. I thought it would be an interesting experiment go look back at those trips to each of the 31 states I have visited (62% isn’t bad, is it?) and see if, and when, I may be returning. Working in alphabetical order, we start today with the 38th state to be added to the Union: Colorado.
State: Colorado

The Centennial State is the latest state I have visited, making my first, and only, so far, visit last month.
A few weeks back, I made a quick 36-hour trip to Denver to see the White Sox battle the Rockies. I flew in on a Tuesday afternoon, with a night game on tap. The White Sox managed to eke out a squeaker and all was well in the world.
The following day, I checked out of the hotel and headed back to Coors Field for an afternoon tilt. This time, fortune favored the Rockies in a higher scoring affair that ended with a walk-off hit. After going back to the hotel to pick up my bag, I took the long trip the airport, where I found out that my flight, scheduled for late at night as it was, was delayed for another hour. Good times.
Will I return? I would assume so. Outside of baseball, there is much that Denver, and Colorado, has to offer.
