Leah! I loved your list! It's terrific. Dairy Queen actually makes a pretty decent frozen hot chocolate (not the same as Serendipity's but probably LOTS cheaper). As for the other things on your list...all those vacations sound like a lot of fun. I would definitely go to the Louvre with you. We will do a corn maze this fall when you arrive and maybe we can learn to knit or crochet together! Love ya like a monkey!

Skydiving used to be on my list... but now it's turned into the milder but still scary hot-air balloon ride. and scrapbook my wedding. I can hope.
love, heidi!

First of all I will TOTALLY go to an NBA game with you-my fellow Michael Jordan lover! Jazz sound like an option? Second, I LOVED your list! Lots of places to travel to that is for sure. Glad someone else decided to do a list too!

yay! i love this list and need to make my own! one fun thing that i started doing while we were in hawai'i was take adult ed classes. they were the perfect length of time for me to be away from baby/babies and dad was always home to watch her/them. they had really random classes that were SO fun!

remind me when you're back on the mainland... my brother-in-law is in the nba and sometimes gets us tickets. :)

Yes! Come visit us in Oklahoma! I'm sure there's a corn maze around here somewhere in the autumn. That way you could kill two birds with one stone. Also, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but the Mona Lisa is fairly small and always surrounded by bunches of people, so it's kind of disappointing to see in person, but there are a lot of other really cool things to see in the Louvre. I think that maybe you could use a tour guide ;)
