2014 Summer Bucket List

A few weeks ago John and I (and Elsie) were driving home from being away for the weekend and we decided to create a summer bucket list.  These are things that we would like to do this summer.  Some of these things include Elsie-some do not and would be things for just John and I to do together.  And to be honest...some of these things are things that just I would like to do.  It is now June 8th and some of these things are already cross off the list!  What my hope is from this list is really to create a priority list as sometimes summer gets so busy we don't get to the things we really wanted to do.  Also, my hope is that we can refer to this list during our moments of down town to try to make the most of the summer! So here it is...our summer bucket list.

  1. Do a Park Hop
