Well, I've always lived in California, and was born in Florida, so that's 2! :)
In '86, my parents bought a Corvette in the Miami area (most of the family lives out there), and we drove it across the country -- that was when I was small enough to fit in the hatchback, LOL!
We went through:
Georgia
Alamama
Mississippi
Louisiana
Texas
New Mexico
Arizona
I've also, on other trips, been to:
Nevada
Utah
Idaho
PS: If you fly over a state, does that count? ;D

I live in Alabama. I have been to Florida, South Dakota, Virginia, Lousiana, and Texas. On a road trip to Texas, the car drove through several states on the way there, and I am not counting any of them that I did not do anything in. The same way how I did not count Minnesota, where an airport was on the way to South Dakota.
