Ziplining will feel like flying, right? I’ve always thought so and I’ve wanted to do it ever since I knew it was a thing that existed. It’s like skydiving, but slower and safer!

Take Photos in a Photo Booth
You know that scene in a movie where the main character jumps into a photo booth with their best friend or their significant other and make silly faces or kiss? I feel like this happens in every movie, but where do you find a photo booth? I think they have them at some amusement parks. Maybe. I have no idea. I’ve been on the lookout for one since I created this list 1.5 years ago and kept coming up short.
Husband saw one somewhere when I wasn’t with him. So imagine my glee when I found one randomly in themiddle of a country store next to our hotel in Vermont. This was the first of my list items to be completely unplanned. We stumbled upon it when shopping and I was so happy to jump in and take some photos. Extra bonus: we were away for our
10th anniversary, so a few cute photos of us being silly in a photo booth made a nice memory for that anniversary as well.
Stay Overnight Somewhere Haunted
Okay, truth be told, this list does tend to take over my life to some degree. When our 10th anniversary approached and Paris was still a ways off, we decided to plan an overnight trip somewhere. “What things can we do on my list?” I immediately thought. Granted, Husband is on board and we end up doing fun things that we otherwise wouldn’t do because of the list, but still…it does tend to take over. Our overnight trip to Stowe, VT helped knock three things off my list: stay somewhere haunted, go ziplining, and take photos in a photo booth!
Marathon Training: May 10K
With five months to go before the marathon, me and the Husband signed up for a 10K in our town. Husband has done this race before and loves it.
The 10K did not go well for me. It was high allergy season here in Connecticut and the 10K race itself was small, mostly locals and apparently you don’t run this race unless you run fast.
Running a Marathon
Running a marathon seems like a pretty solid bucket list idea, right? I would have to guess that it is one of the most universal bucket list items. This goal ended up on my list for several reasons: (1) I had begun running the year before and it gave me a significant boost in self-confidence; (2) my husband had already completed a marathon and that was pretty cool; and (3) it was 2013 and the Boston Marathon bombings had just happened.
