Alas, I did not accomplish all of the things on my summer list. But technically, there's still time! Anyone want to make out at a drive in? Or eat a blue sno-cone with me?
(Bold means I have completed the item.)
1. Hike on the trail with Sasquatch sitings (Okay, technically I didn't hike it, but I camped there. And it was creepy!!)
2. Sleep under the stars (dirtbag it!)
3. Frolic in an alpine meadow (Taylor Swift dance parties)
4. Rhubarb Festival (Didn't make it to the festival, but I had some amazing rhubarb pine in Alpine)
5. Eat a blue sno-cone
6. Make out at a drive in
7. Go to an observatory and look at stars (Rich got out the telescope one night in Portland... Does that count?)
8. Research picks for Fantasy Football (I am in a league with my birthmom, her husband, and three sons... This could get interesting.)
9. Catch fireflies (Wasn't gonna happen since I didn't make it east of the Mississippi)
10. See the river in the Galiuros that only appears at night
11. See fireworks on the 4th (Didn't see fireworks, but backpacking was even better!)
12. Powell's bookstore
13. At least one Northwest canyon
14. Explore more swimming holes in AZ
15. Host a formal cocktail party (Not yet, but I just got a little carried away buying kitchen products from The Pioneer Woman's new line, so I will be hosting a dinner party very soon.)
16. Go on a bird walk (It's too hot! Maybe when I'm visiting my parents over Fall Break.)
17. Pacheta Falls (I made it to eastern AZ, but this is a hike I didn't want to do alone.)
18. Get in some R-rated stemming in Utah
19. Hike on part of the Oregon trail
20. Donuts and pie and chocolate and ice cream in Portland (This is why I gained 10 pounds this summer. But you know what? It was totally worth it.)
21. Read A Midsummer Night's Dream (I got halfway through. Does that count?)
22. Watch The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
23. Miles to go tattoo (This one requires some thought... I'd put in on my forearm, which is a pretty bold move. Need to make sure I'm ready for that kind of commitment.)
