The Journey to 50

What's going on everybody, I moved to South Florida about two months ago and after the first two weeks I just happen to see Utah, Massachusetts, New York and New Hampshire license plates all within a 10 minute span of each other. After that wild set of license plates I thought to myself hmph, why not see how long it takes for me to see all 50.

Alas, after a little over 6 weeks I have found all 50 states plus more! A hot start to month was put to a halt but then July 10th came around when I saw 16 license plates, including a goddamn Quebec one! After some slow days in July I told myself if I saw the 48 inland states I would take that as a W because I thought it was going to be impossible for me to see Hawaii or Alaska. That was until the end of July when on a random Wednesday afternoon I catch out of the corner my eye a light blue plate with a bear on it and what do you know it is Alaska! I was hyped up but at the same time I was sick because now I have to wait to see Hawaii to truly be completed.
Not even a week goes by and I am heading home from the gym, humble brag I workout, and I see a god damn Hawaii plate! So now all I have left is DC North Dakota and Idaho. Week or so goes by and boom I see North Dakota and DC damn near back to back. Then just yesterday as I am going to park at the beach I see an Idaho plate on a blue-ish/purple van with an Idaho plate on it. I was way to excited about this but I finally completed my random journey of finding all US license plates.
I will have more on license plates and what I think of drivers with specific state license plates but I will end with my personal top 5 most appealing plates.
1- Arizona

2- Wyoming

3- Utah

4- South Dakota

5- Oregon

The west and midwest truly dominate the cool design of license plates. As I stated earlier I will have much more to do with license plates because this brought joy for some reason so now you're going to try to see the joy I had.
