I was just talking about going to St. Petersburg next year.
Love your list! Tree fort in particular-- I'm going to have to add that. Or at least a blanket fort. I recently did this too-- it was sooo fun! http://failfailagainfailbetter.blogspot.com/2009/08/100-things-to-do-before-i-die.html
That is one SERIOUS list. wow
That sounds astoundingly similar to my bucket list. Though, mine also includes attending Sundance and hiking the grand canyon.
great minds think alike!
It's good to know other people are constantly thinking about the fabulous things they want to do or have. My list includes turning a spare bedroom into a large walk-in closet with a skylight and surround sound.
You, my dear, are a true woman of vision. I might have to add that to my list!
As for the legendary party -- you and I will just have to go to texas for a black tie & boots ball -- and these are what we will wear!!!
This is so interesting... I have my list of things to photograph before I die and one of them is to photograph the Northern Lights.
I love your list... some are funny but still doable.
What a list! The champagne is a favorite!
