My Bucket List - Places I Want to Go, Things I Want to Do

Best Friend challenged me to come up with a Bucket List of all the places and things I want to experience. . with the Best Friend. Well, I started small, and realized that life is too damn short to limit yourself. Besides, I'm blessed enough to know that if I desire it, there's a pretty fair chance it's going to happen. So, this is just the beginning of my Bucket List. List of Places
  • Queen Wilhelmina State Park (Arkansas)- I developed the website, and fell in love with the photography of all the great views
  • Gulf Shores, AL – Grew up at the beach, and want to return!
  • Dallas, TX – I'm not even going to say what I'm looking forward to here. . but it's NOT just shopping!
  • Jamaica - I'll even let my hair grow so I can get it braided before I go.
  • Las Vegas - I love slots and lights, and am a big time People Watcher. I was born to visit Vegas!
