50 States/50 Plates

Sunday, December 06, 2009

So come Saturday afternoon I decided I was going to play a little game. Remember when you were younger and you played those car games on long trips? Okay, well I never played this game on a car trip when I was younger but I bet it would make a good one.

I always think it's neat to see the license plates from different states when I'm driving around. I was looking at an out of state plate Saturday afternoon and decided I would make it a goal to try to find a plate from every single state. Thus, 50 States/50 Plates was born.

50 States/50 Plates

Cory says I'm weird and crazy. I got the laugh and head shake when I told him about it. Why anything I do even remotely surprises him at this point is a little beyond me.

Anyway, I think he's secretly having fun helping me out. I pointed one out earlier today and he jetted over to the other lane and went two lights past our turn so I could get a picture. He says it's funny to see me get excited over something like that. What? I'm having fun!

I only have two rules: 1) I can't do it while I'm driving. Can you imagine explaining that to a cop? "Oh, sorry officer. I broadsided this person because I was trying to take a picture of this other guy's license plate for kicks." Passenger seat or parking lots only.

2) You have to be able to read the state on the license plate. If it comes out too blurry that picture goes out the window.

So does anyone want to play with me? It's really fun!

You can see what I've got so far here. Saturday I had a major score of 7 plates! Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts and Oklahoma.

I completely missed a Louisiana plate earlier today but I did get Maryland and Nevada. I had to take them on my phone so hopefully they come out! If they do I'll put them up on my list.

If you decide to do it with me let me know! I'd love to hear about it.



Do what you love and the rest comes on it's own
