Bucket Book

Awhile back, S gave me a beautiful hand sewn book.  It was so pretty that I hated to use it.  I couldn't think of a worth use. But after talking to V, I've decided to make it my Bucket Book. 

I started with 2012 (when I got the book) and added pictures of parasailing in Panama City Beach. 
Then the 2013 helicopter ride at PCB.  Hopefully, each year I can add a new adventure. 
My hope for 2014 is to add skydiving.

Some other ideas include: scuba diving, hot air ballooning, snow boarding, running a race, driving a race car, lots of travel (all 50 states, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland) and a few tame ideas: read classic literature and write a book.

I googled some other people's ideas...and found that I had done more of the items on their list than I had ever imagined.
