The Bucket List

Yesterday Husband and I watched the movie The Bucket List for the first time. (I know it’s been out for a while – I guess we’re a little behind on movie-watching.) I thought it was pretty good. It was funnier and more moving than I expected it to be. Anyway, it made me think about my own “bucket” list. These are the things, off the top of my head, that I’d put on my list: *Learn how to surf *Visit Australia *Visit China and see the Great Wall *Write a book (even if it never gets published) *See the Grand Canyon *Ride in a helicopter *Live overseas (if a military overseas assignment is possible) I expect to keep adding to the list over time. But now I’m curious…what’s on your bucket list?

I'm not really sure what a bucket list or what the movie is. Apparently I'm going to have to check it out.

We just watched that the other day too. We started to put together a list immediately. First big plan...Greece next Spring. Yay! :)

I have actually done everything on your list except write a book! Growing up in the military helped me travel, and now that I married Mr. Top Gun, I get to mark off Japan! I've always wanted to go to Greece though, and I want to hold a penguin too!! They are my fave animals :)
