Bucket List

 

I had been meaning to create a bucket list for all the things I'd like to do.  When we got stationed in Germany however, I thought I would get started on the European portions since we had such a limited time there. We were there for 2 1/2 years, so I chose 50 things I wanted to accomplish in that time.  The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to go out and do...rather than stay home and wish.  We have moved back to the United States since I started this list but thankfully our adventures are far from over.  I will need to start a Bucket List for the United States.
