Now It Is My Time To Offer A Contest!

Dear Coinsfolk,
I've been enjoying the forum for a while now, and I decided to run a contest with a prize. The closest answer will get a 2009 or 2010 non-circulating commemorative bimetallic Turkey coin (nothing fancy..but looks lovely if you like animals!) from me.

Rules are simple. Minimum of 50 posts, and one guess per day.

Here we go;
Back in the year 2000, I had stayed in the United States for some time. (World was a nicer place back then). While I was there, I have been to three different states. I want you to guess the state I had spent least time in.. and guess how long?.. The person who guesses the right state and closest time that I spent there, will win a free bimetallic 2009 or 2010 commemorative coin from Turkey plus a few other cool little coins!..
The contest will last until 28 December 2010 unless a right answer comes before. Good luck. :)
