Uu is for U.S.A.

There are 50 states in the United States of America.

You and I all live in a state that begins with the letter U. I was born and raised in (and took your Mommies many times to) a state that begins with the letter I. Uncle Keoni was born in a state that begins with the letter H and Uncle J.P. grew up in a state that begins with the letter A. Last summer we all visited a state that begins with the letter O.

Grandpa and I hope to visit all 50 states someday.

So far we have traveled to 21 states.

From the pictures below,

guess where in the U.S.A. are Grandpa and Grandma?

1. We visited this state in the spring a few years ago

2. We visited this state awhile ago, too

3. Don't be fooled by the states' names in this picture.

4. This is a state that is usually sunny

5. You might not be able to tell what state this is until you look at picture number 6

6. Where is this?

7. This state was much more spectacular in person than it may look in this picture

8. Hmmmm, does this place look familiar?

9. And finally this is a state we visited this past fall.

For every correct state you guess, you just might win

more tickets to Grandma's X-box shop!

Happy guessing through the U.S.A.

Love, Grandma

Congratulations!

I owe everyone some tickets for all your good guesses, especially Zach and Brody whose genius Mom guessed them all correctly! We were in Holland, Michigan in #1; on Ellis Island looking over to the New York City skyline in #2; at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. in #3; just across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California in #4; at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota in #5 and #6; in Alaska (with Mt. McKinley far away in the background) in #7; at Cannon Beach, Oregon in #8 and somewhere in New Hampshire in #9!
