Take over the ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA!
In all seriousness, my bucket list used to include a lot of risky activities. They have all been nixed. Now it's make sure my kids grow to be healthy, happy, responsible adults who can care for themselves and if I'm lucky, give back to society.
If I accomplish that, then I'll add back all the risky stuff that was on my list.
Outside of the risky stuff my list is long and ever growing. Mostly Travel related.
- Visit all 50 states
(lay-overs do not count
). I've only 3 to go, Hawaii, New Mexico and Arkansas
- Learn to Scuba Dive
- Hike the AT
(I have an older friend who every year spends a week hiking it. He started at the southern terminus and each year starts where he stopped the previous year. This year he completed it. I'd be happy to do it that way if I can't find the time to through hike it.
- Travel
(the list of places is to long to include here
)
- Instill in my kids a life long love of nature and the outdoors
- Make sure my kids know how to tie knots
- Take my kids backpacking... all over the country
- Bicycle tour in Europe
- Visit the Seven Summits
(I've no aspirations to climb them at the moment, too much risk involved
) but I'd like to visit them all
- Go to Korea with my sister
(who is a Korean, my parents adopted her when she was 5months old
)
I could spend all day. It's hard to keep the risky stuff off of it, maybe it should be included but I know I can't do them until my kids are responsible for themselves.
