I had to take a break last week but I’m back with my 50 States Wrapped series and today’s post will cover South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Vermont! I will continue to add books from each state. If you missed the previous parts to this series, you can check my posts about Alabama-California, Colorado-Georgia, Hawaii-Iowa, Kansas-Maryland, Massachusetts-Missouri, Montana-New Jersey, New Mexico-Ohio, and Oklahoma-South Carolina.
South Dakota
My first time in South Dakota was on the road trip we took after I broke my ankle. We visited the Corn Palace, Wall Drugs, and Mount Rushmore as well as the Badlands.
We were also in South Dakota when we drove up to Fargo in 2020. We went to Sioux Falls.

I am not sure I’ve read any, besides some of the Little House books!
Tennessee
We have been to Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga, all on trips to and from Florida. We enjoyed the Adventure Science Center in Nashville.

Texas
We’ve been to Texas a few times – first to San Antonio and more recently to Galveston. Dave and I also went to my cousin’s wedding in Dallas.

Utah
I love Utah! The first time we were there was on the way back from Yellowstone, when we visited Salt Lake City and Park City.
We also visited Utah in 2019 when we went to Bryce, Zion, and Arches. I loved them all!

Vermont
Dave and I took Gabbie on a weekend to Vermont when she was a baby. I also went with Gabbie and Zachary to Vermont when we visited a friend in upstate NY, where there was a ferry you could take to Burlington. Here’s Gabbie on the ferry:
