Bucket List

So after reading about Heather's 40 by 40 list this morning, I felt like such a follower and decided to create my own Bucket List. 
I've always thought Bucket List's was so clique, but deep down I like the idea of having goals and crossing them off.  I know a lot of my Bucket List ideas will probably never happen.  Unless I win the lottery or I have a rich uncle that I don't know about and I get left a sizable inheritance.  So here you go...

  1. Run a Full Marathon
  2. Graduate from college
  3. Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
  4. Visit France and see the Eiffel Tower
  5. Learn to surf, preferably somewhere in the Pacific where they have real waves.
  6. See the Northern Lights
  7. Skydive
  8. Run the Boston Marathon
  9. Complete a triathlon, maybe even a big one like The Half Ironman.  All 70.3 miles. 
  10. Visit all 50 states
  11. See a baseball game at Fenway and Wrigley Field
  12. Learn to play the guitar
  13. Visit New York City, Manhattan.  And do all the touristy things like see a Broadway play, ice skate at Rockefeller Center, go to the top of the Empire State Building.
  14. Run an Ultra trail Marathon - either 50 or 100 mile would be okay with me.
  15. Scuba Dive  - preferably somewhere tropical with beautiful coral reefs
  16. Go Zip lining
  17. Go to the Olympics, as a spectator of course.  I missed my chance in 1996 when the Olympics was right here in my backyard, but I was only 14 then and could have cared less. 
  18. Ride a motorcycle on the road, like in the mountains during the fall.  Riding our dirt bikes in the yard doesn't really count. 
  19. Learn to make really good buttermilk biscuits
  20. Visit London.  See Big Ben and the London Bridge. 
  21. Walk on the Great Wall of China

I can say that I have crossed a few very cool, Bucket List items off my list recently.
  1. Swim with dolphins
  2. Paddleboard in the Ocean.  Technically it was the Gulf of Mexico. 
  3. Participate in a Color Run
I plan to add to my list as time goes on, and hopefully cross off many of these activities. 

What kind of things are on your Bucket List?
