The name? A little play on “windswept” because life moves fast, and we’re just trying to enjoy the ride, one trip at a time.

The States

Been There, Done That

This is where we keep track of all the places we’ve been and how many more we still have to go. Our goal? To visit all 50 states as a family before Anniston graduates college.

What are the rules? We have to make a stop in the state and airports don’t count. Other than that, rules are for losers (not really, I’m a rule follower through and through) and we’re just here doing our best.

We’re currently at 30 states and counting, with miles and flights to go, playlists to play, and plenty more snacks to sample.

Hi, I’m Lindsey! A wife, mom, traveler, and face behind LindSwept.

Born and raised in Arkansas, I’ve worked in the corporate world since I was 21, but I work so I can travel. Alongside my husband, Nick, and my daughter, Anniston (16), we’re on a mission to visit all 50 states before she heads to college. So far? 30 down, 20 to go.

LindSwept is where I share family travel stories, tips, and the moments that make the journey just as meaningful as the destination. Come get swept down the road (lol) with us—sarcasm, snacks, and scenic stops included.
