Well, you’ve seen my list, so I’ll just comment on yours. I want to take cooking classes, too. I have friends that have received classes for their birthdays, so give Kyle a hint hint on that one. I also want to live by the beach, work at a bookstore, and I think owning a B & B would be a blast. I like your list. I agree with nearly all of them, except I don’t want to build a house from scratch with Kyle…I did learn to sail when I was younger. I spent a week on a 100 foot yacht and we learned, but I remember nothing except having to wake up in the middle of the night for watch. We each had to fill one hour slots during the day and night and it was awful! I also never understood exactly what we were watching for…pirates? In the San Juan islands? Who knows…
I’ll have to think through my own list, but I’ve done a few of those on your list and I highly recomend the Hot Air Balloon. especially the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Alburquerque (you could visit my mom too) because it’s especially cool to not just be up in the air, but to be watching OTHER hot air balloons too. And today I went kayaking in the ocean and it was lovely. But, that’s different that white water kayaking where you have to be able to pop back up after turning over under water. Uhm, Let’s see, I also took a sailing class at school. fun fun fun. and of course I highly recomend the living near the beach. If you ever want to pitch a tent in my front yard, you’re welcome to….
