I invite any feedback or comments you may have.
I've done 19. :)
ReplyDeleteClarification: I've done 19 of them but not #19.
ReplyDeleteActonbell- I keep on going by those henna tattoo stalls at the summer fairs and think I've got to try it but I never seem to have the time. But next time, I'm going to MAKE the time to do it!
ReplyDeleteRockStar- Do I dare ask which of the 19 you've done? :)
Thanks for your comments!

1,2,3,4,6,10,11,13,14,17,22,26,27,28,29,32,33,34, and 36.
ReplyDeleteNote on a ride last week I rode past a "clothing optional family campground" but didn't visit. It scared me.
Great list! I've done 11 of them, and of the ones I haven't done, there are 11 that I really want to do, and about 4 or 5 that I would have wanted to do about 20 years ago, now not so much. Hey, when you make it to the Chicago Art Institute, be sure not to miss "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper. Also pretty cool in person, and larger than you would imagine, is Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte". Also, PLEASE go to the Grand Canyon, which I've done. And hike down to the bottom, which I haven't done. And come back and tell us about it! Happy bucket-listing!
ReplyDeleteRockstar-
ReplyDeleteSome good ones in those 19. Thanks for sharing! And the curiosty about the "clothing optional family campground" would have killed me. I'm really just curious about what kind of people do that sort of thing. Is that BAD of me?
Karen-
I LOVE Edward Hopper! Those are really good suggestion to add. As far as Grand Canyon, everyone has been telling me I NEED to see it and hike down to the bottom.
Thanks for your comments!
