Number Six- Adopt and/or Foster animals

I grew up volunteering at P.A.L.s and always wanted to foster cats and sometimes a certain dog would pull on my heart strings. But my family was not interested in helping out that way. I on the other hand love cats a lot and meeting new ones is a favorite pass time of mine.

Number Six- Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras, held in New Orleans every year is the party to go to and depending on where you visit, you get a different experience. I want to go right before the end so from the last Friday until Fat Tuesday then fly home on Ash Wednesday. There are so many things I want to see in New Orleans, that I don't think one visit will be enough.

Number Five- Visit all 50 States

Once when I was little, I was telling my Grandma some big plan of how I was going travel the world. When she said to me "What have you seen of our country? Why go so far, when you have yet to see you own backyard?" And it stopped me in my tracks and I realized how much exploring I still have to do here before I leave. I really made me slow down and consider what America has to offer that I have not yet seen.

So now I want to visit all 50 states, not that I would turn down a trip to Europe, but I can take it slow and enjoy the time I have here and when I say I want to visit all 50 states I mean I really want to explore them and see their true side.

1. Alabama
2. Alaska
3. Arizona
4. Arkansas
5. California
I have been to California a multitude of times visiting family and just for fun. I really do enjoy California, mostly for the sun, warmth and of course the beach. I have mostly spent time in Northern California and have only been to the southern part once and that was only to L.A. for a week. So I still need to finish visiting California.
6. Colorado
I have spent roughly two weeks of my life in Colorado, my uncle's family has a cabin there and one time during the summer they took me with them to visit. I loved it, it was near a state park, so amazing hiking opportunities and beautiful scenery all around. I would love to go back with my family one day.
7. Connecticut
8. Delaware
9. Florida
Right before I graduated from high School I went on a trip to Jacksonville, Florida for an amazing week. I went with a small group to receive my Citation Award from AWANAs which was a highlight of my life, finish something i had been working since I was in Kindergarten. I loved Florida, the humidity did bother me at all. I loved the beach there to. I want to take my family there.
10. Georgia
11. Hawaii
12. Idaho
Lived there since I was two until I was eighteen. I like Idaho, it was a pretty good place to grow up, but I pretty sure I am allergic to all living things in that area.
13. Illinois
14. Indiana
15. Iowa
16. Kansas
17. Kentucky

My sister lives in Brooklyn and I have been able to visit her twice now and with an important birthday coming up for her I am hoping to go again and spend it with her. I loved Brooklyn when I was there, But I really need to see the rest of the state and I really want to go Yonkers, I love Hello Dolly! So I have to go there at least once.
33. North Carolina
34. North Dakota
35. Ohio
My Best friend growing up moved to Ohio during our junior year of high school and two years after she left I was able to go and visit her. Ohio is very different from Idaho all rolling hills and no irrigation. I missed the smell of water and it rained a lot.
36. Oklahoma

Went to collage there and went on a road trip up the coast of Oregon and attended the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashlynd. I like Visiting Oregon, but I don't want to live there.

Number Four- Cruise Ship

I want to work on a cruise ship. I don't care if the only job I can get is dishes at least I am doing dishes on a cruise ship going some where, instead of staying in my home town and never getting any where. First I must finish this school year and then over the summer I will get certified in CPR and get my Passport. By then I will have another year of school during which I will be applying to all the big Cruise companies and some of the smaller ones as well. So by next summer I will have my AA in Art and hopeful and job on a cruise ship for at least the summer months.

I will work on a cruise ship.

The check list to work on a cruise ship
1. Passport. That can be up to a 90 day waiting period and it cost around a hundred dollars.
2. Get an amazing resume together.
3. Learn to teach water aerobics.
4. Get a years worth of photograph experience or graduate with my photography degree.
5. Keep my Food Safety Certification.
6. Get Life Guard training.
7. Get CPR Certification.

Number Three- Homestead Crater

I want to go to Homestead Crater, Utah. In Utah there is a place called Homestead Crater and underneath the snow inside the hill there is a hot springs you can swim in, go diving without a suit because the water is 96 degrees. The minerals in the water have built up on the sides and made different formation that you get to see if you go diving.

I will go diving in Homestead Crater, Utah.

Number Two- 221b Baker Street

I want to go to 221b Baker Street. I don't know if any of you have read much of Sherlock Holmes or have seen any of the movies, a new one just came out around Christmas. I read the complete works of Sherlock Holmes , by Sir Arther Conan Doyle, when I was 9. When I found the book I just could not put it down. How cool would it be to stand out side and pretend to need help and when Watson does not come outside and ask in to tell my story, I will go in side and look around the Sherlock Holmes Museum of Baker Street.

I will visit 221b Baker Street.

Number One - Skinny Dipping

I want to skinny dip. It is true. It may not sound very important to someone who has already tried this and where I come from it is not an uncommon thing to do and yet I have not done it. 40 minutes away from my house is a hot springs (Prefect for these still chilly days) that 3 of my room mates have skinny dipped in and more than that have swim in it, but I have not gone. I am a private person, I do not get naked around people easily or often, and you can not go skinny dipping alone.

I will go skinny dipping.
