Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

Activity Ideas: A Growing List of Fun Things I Want to Do

I need at least 52 things to do, classes to take, places to visit, and activities to try. I’m a voracious reader, eager learner, avid organizer, enthusiastic cyclist, appreciative hiker, aspiring writer, and devoted parent to a dog named Mylee, to name just a handful of the characteristics that describe me and the kinds of activities that interest me.

Here’s the list I have started so far. What do you love to do, where do you love to go, and what would you suggest I add? Leave your ideas in the comments!
