Those stickers or magnets go on our outdoor fridge door. Its a great conversation starter with our kids or friends when they see a particular magnet and ask about it and we can revisit those adventures again. I find that to be a little more personable than just a map. But we may end up doing both. We will be getting a 5th wheel when I retire and doing a cross country trip with my children (like my dad did when he retired) so we might start a state map there.
But for the record, my thoughts are if you stopped somewhere in the state, it counts. You don't need to necessarily sleep there, but if you were on a CAMPING trip and stopped to see the worlds largest ball of yarn in Kansas... that's a state "successfully" visited! =)
