My Bucket List (Life's Ambitions)

This morning I created a Facebook post describing various adventures/goals that I would like to accomplish during my lifetime.  The idea came from a story I saw on the Today Show where they showed a clip of a frozen Niagara Falls.  I've always wanted to go to the Niagara Falls so I thought about what else would be on my list of "want to's":

Visit Times Square in New York City and be there when the ball drops:

Go Parasailing (I'd be a little scared, but it looks like so much fun):

Learn How to Play Chess (Ryan has been so patient trying to teach me, but I don't focus very well.  I'd love to play with him one day and know what I'm doing):

Get my Fishing License and Fish Off the Pier at our Local Park or any Pier (I'm Daddy's Girl):

Visit San Francisco and Ride a Convertible (I want to do both and could do them together as I've always wanted to ride in a convertible across the Golden Gate Bridge-just like during the theme song from Full House):

Visit the White House (as much as I love history and government I've never had the chance to go inside which would be a dream of mine.  I wouldn't be surprised if I started crying as I started walking towards it):

Meet WBAL's Gerry Sandusky (he's my favorite sports commentator and is extremely talented.  I almost got to meet him once a ways back after a Ravens game.  He was doing a radio broadcast from the booth and Ryan and I walked over to see if we could meet him.  We waited so excitedly as he put his finger up letting us know to hold on and he'd be right there.  Unfortunately, one of the stadium's security guards forced us out because the stadium was closing and they had to clean.  One day I'll meet him because he's so amazing and so cool!):

To Meet Jim Cantore and Do A Weather Report With Him (this man is the eptimey of weather greatness.  He has always been my weather hero!  I love watching him in his weather adventures facing the gusty winds, rain, snow, etc. in order to bring us weather updates.  It would be so cool to do that next to him):

To See a Comet (I've never seen a comet, falling star, nothing cool like that.  It would be so awesome to see one in my lifetime, however that's nothing really that I can do myself.  I have to wait on nature to help me with that one):

To Visit Ireland and See a Castle (Ryan and I have never been to Ireland and we always dreamed of going for our 10th wedding anniversary-this September actually, WOW!  It's so beautiful and green and beautiful and green...well, you get the idea):

And of course Niagara Falls (and the picture that started this process):
