seriously here. just posting states w/out posting at least a sentence on why you were there is not going to be tolerated.
cire and kstate16 both have received yellow cards and will have their accounts frozen if they do not offer explanations here. sorry here guys. sorry to be the hardass but seriously. just seriously here.

Kansas-duh
Missouri-several Royals games and now I live within walking distance of it.
Colorado, I guess--lots of vacations ended up going there.
Maybe Texas next? I don't know Only been there briefly on one vacation plus several bowl games.
After that its probably a toss up between Nebraska, Wyoming, and Oklahoma, but either way its a pretty insignificant amount of time. Probably spent more time in Germany than any of these and that was 12 days.
-
1. Kansas - Lived here my whole life!
2. Texas - Lots of family here. Plus bowl trips to Dallas/Houston/San Antonio..
3. Oklahoma - Family & O.K.C.
4. Florida - Lots of family vacations here, timeshare, etc. Love it.

Yeah, I also have almost the same list, except for 2-5.
1) Kansas: Born and raised. Kansan through college. Johnny Kaw and I are still close, personal friends. (That one night we split a case of beer and ended up punching each other didn't break the bond, in the end it brought us closer together, really.)
2) New York: Lived in NYC since college. Probably a lifer at this point.
3) EDIT: Based on FFF's post below, I was reminded I lived in Washington for a year when I was 3 years old. I just don't remember it that well for some reason. Glad to add this, since I was stretching to get to five states -- now I'm feeling solid on my list.
4) California: Family originally from Cali., and my siblings live there now. Spent many, many vacations out there. Yeah, when I was in middle school I was wicked pissed at my parents for moving to Kansas.
5) EDIT AGAIN to add D.C. I forgot I had a summer internship there for a couple months. Jesus, my originial list was just awful. :-[
6) Colorado: Family vacations that weren't to California were spent in Colorado. Since then, I've spent a lot of time there visiting friends and skiing. I really can't say enough positive about the Sunshine State.

i think forcing people to go to five is part of the charm. i wanna know if someones #2 is missouri because they drove there to buy fireworks in september once. or if wisconsin is #3 because their grandparents funeral was there when they were in fifth grade. just a jmo here though just an imo.

3. Kansas - college......... loved every second i was there (except all the hours spent in studio :banghead:).
4. Arizona - lived here for 10 months after graduating from KSU. loved it down there, but it seemed i was flying back to MO more than i was there so i decided to move to KC. would like to move back here or the bay area if the job market ever has an up-swing.
5. Illinois - did a summer internship in the DeKalb area (northern illinois u. located here). summers were nice, cheap golf, and only an hour drive to Chicago

True dat.
On my list I have South Dakota. We always count the Wall Drug signs on I-29 and I-90 on the way. It is :cheesy: but what else are you going to do on the drive ?

the jobsite was in Mo.
4. Arkansas- See #3
5. Florida- Been down there several times to visit family.
---Have to add I spent a week in Wyoming and absolutely loved it. If we were ranking by enjoyment level instead of duration, I'd have to rank WY #2. Also, Colorado and Nevada give Florida a close run for #5. Been to both places more times but not for as long of stays but the days are really close, especially CO.
