My Outdoors Bucket List

I never thought I'd be the type of person to make a bucket list, because I just wasn't old enough, obviously! But as I got older ... yes, it's true ... and I explored my own passions further, I realized that there are so many things I can only hope I get to experience someday before I "kick the bucket".

An integral part of every bucket list is sharing it publicly as a means to fostering accountability. In theory, if I never share my list, I'll never explore some of my greatest outdoor wishes. Further, I share my list here in hopes that I may inspire some of you to explore your own passions and set your own goals to experience the outdoors in new and exciting ways.

My Outdoors Bucket List (in no particular order):

1. See the cherry blossoms in Japan
2. Spend a day at the Amsterdam Flower Market
3. Pray while walking along the Western Wall in Jerusalem
   
4. See the morning glory pools at Yellowstone National Park
5. Drive along the Pacific Coast Highway in a convertible
6. Eat pizza at the sidewalk cafe in Italy
7. Camp beneath the Northern Lights
8. Take a boat ride on the Sea of Galillee

10. Watch the sunrise in the Moab desert

There's no sky diving, no bungee jumping, nothing too extreme. Just a few ideas I hope to experience someday before I die.
