Busket List

Julie inspired me by not only having a bucket but crossing things off of it. I've always had things in my head, and done some of them, but I imagine actually having a list may help get these things accomplished. Yes, I may have stolen some of these...and it's a work in progress. Can't come up with a whole list in one night.

1. Hike Pike's Peak
2. Go skinny dipping
3. Go to Italy
4. Go to Australia/New Zealand
5. Visit all 50 States
6. Road trip without a particular destination in mind.
7. Go on a week-long backpacking trip, preferably along a good portion of the Appalachian Trail.
8. Hike part of the Appalachian Trail in every state it crosses (part of me wants to just hike the entire thing at once but that can take like 6 months and I am not sure I want to dedicate that much time when there are so many other things to hike. But you never know...)
9. Take a cruise.
10. See Machu Picchu and Mayan ruins.
11. Swim with dolphins
12. Go up in a hot-air balloon.
13. See a show on Broadway.
14. Publish a novel. (well, finish a novel first)
15. Raise a puppy.
16. Have some kids.
17. Hike in the snow.
18. Learn to kayak (coming soon!)
19. Kayak something cool (research is still out on what this should be, but it'll be a good trip)
20.Live abroad for at least 6 months (preferably longer)
21. See the northern lights.
22. Literally have my clothes ripped off my body in the heat of passion, like in the movies. (hey, it was suggested to me and why the heck not)
23. Be kissed in the rain.
24. Go to a World Series game
25. Sex in a tent (I have a lot of sex things in my bucket list, not sure what this says about me.)
26. Learn some dance (probably tango)
27. Go to Walden Pond and read Thoreau while drifting in a canoe. (another internet find, but hell yeah!)
28. Camp in Yosemite
29. Camp in Yellowstone
30. Have a stranger buy me a drink at a bar (I know, how can this have not already happened?!)
31. Candle-light bubble bath with your love
32. Take a poll dancing class (maybe...it's good exercise)
33. Go whale watching
