Great list.

Are you talking about the Mukilteo ferry in Wa??? If so, I know it. I love that beach area. Does that mean you are making a trip up to Seattle this summer?

You two are such an amazing couple! These lists are so special and fun! I love that some are just purely whimsical (like the hogwarts express ride) and some are so touching (adopting a child). Thank so much for sharing!

I love bucket lists! I normally do one for each year as a kind of new years resolution thing. And so far I haven't crossed many off, really need to get on that.

laurenjeanallece said...

These are wonderful! I think my favorite though is anniversary self-portraits - I love that idea!

I heard somewhere once that you're much more likely to do something if you write it down. You have a beautiful list for both the near and far future. Thanks so much for sharing.

this year is our year for backyard chickens! the little girls are in tote in the guest bathroom for now, but are growing fast and will soon be out in the adorable coop i got for mother's day.

Katie said...

What awesome lists! I wish you guys the best of luck with everything on them. Thanks for sharing!

Lisa said...

I have a friend who is friends with the Geronimo Balloons girl and she had those balloons at her little girl's birthday party on Saturday. Maybe I can help out on that item? Love your list! And I posted more pictures on my blog just for you:)
