the list

i always read blogs, or check websites, or hear recommendations from friends, or generally get random ideas of things i want to do or try. and then i forget them almost immediately afterwards. this informal bucket list of fun has been rolling itself around in my head for years. some ideas are brand new and some ive just tried in the past and enjoyed. but if i dont put them down somewhere, they will disappear forever! for those of you that know me, some may seem a little farfetched (especially those involving water of any kind) but thats sort of the point. im trying to branch out here. the old 'watching reruns of reality tv in my sweats eating chips on a beautiful weekend day' scenario gets old sometimes. here they are, in no particular order...

the aquarium. paddleboarding. mutter museum. ballroom dance lessons. pictures at love park. camping/hiking. morgans pier. rock climbing. shooting at the gun range. picnic on a boat. just dance marathon. haunted tour of somewhere creepy all the time, not just at halloween. sleepover at a bed and breakfast. cosmic bowling. paintballing. mini golf. a winery/brewery tour. massage/mudbath. indie film festival. bumper boats. niagara falls. climbing a lighthouse. snorkeling. laser tag. booze cruise. cooking class/demonstration. kayaking. golfing at the driving range. a food festival. rockefeller center ice skating. fondue. day at the arcade. rainy day movie marathon. playing in a sprinkler. the zoo. picking fresh fruit. a carnival. the planetarium. fireworks. comedy club. a drive-in movie.

wish me luck - i cant wait to get started! juuust need to convince b that all of these adventures are totally necessary in our lives. i have the feeling that some may be easier than others!
