My East Coast Bucket List

Whenever I’ve heard people talk about the hundred or thousand things they want to do before they die I’ve always been slightly perplexed.  You see, there are not that many thing I have a strong need to do before I die, other than snorkel in Maui when I can hear the whales under the water again .  But go specific places, or do specific things—(other than the no-duh variety like be a grandma and hang out with my awesome family)—I don’t really have a list.

So it really was as much as surprise to me as it was to anyone else (specifically the anyone else I am married to) when I realized that I actually had an east coast bucket list—things I wanted to do/see if possible before we leave this part of the country.  Fortunately for me and my east coast bucket list we have spring break this week.  Even more fortunately I was able to persuade my friends to go with me and so this will be a travel-ganza like no other!

You may be wondering what my east coast bucket list includes, and I’ll tell you:

  • Showing my kids the major DC sights
  • Going to visit my sister’s house in upstate New York, which happens to be relatively near
  • Palmyra and
  • Niagara Falls.  Then it’s just as easy as not to visit
  • Kirtland Ohio

on our way back home. 

Should be a whirlwind 5 days, filled with many miles and hopefully even more memories.  I’m not sure if I’m taking my computer or not, so I’m not planning on any blogging this week.

  1. I have an East Coast bucket list, too. And a USA bucket list. And a world bucket list.
    Glad you are getting some places checked off yours! Happy travels!
