16. My home-The Land of Enchantment

Probably the best and most accurate nickname for a state. Best sunsets in the US, wonderful mountains, mesas, and deserts and in-between (only thing it lacks is an ocean)- mild weather (compared to most places). And you can't beat the blend of cultures. No where else in the US do you have people of such diversity, living pretty well together. Sure, some tensions all around but overall- great tolerance and appreciation. Been to all 50 states and want to be no where else.
