The End is Near: 2014 Bucket List Recap

Picture

How on earth is 2014 already coming to an END! It is December and I feel like (as usual) this year has flown by. Looking back though, I must say, I have loved every second of it! Adventures and traveling each year helps to keep me SANE! So let's just take a quick look back before I start up on my new bucket list for 2015. I will most likely reminisce on these adventures of 2014 separately in posts in the future so look for that... in case you were curious as to how or why I ended up doing most of these activities! I can't wait for 2015! I am still working on my list now, but if you have any suggestions... please let me know!!!
  1. Celebrate New Years in Miami (with my Sissy Poo)
  2. Fly to another country just for a party (Tons of fun with friends! Nassau is one of my favorite quick getaways!)
  3. First Time Skiing (Pennsylvania with the Bestie)
  4. Visit Mexico (Mexico City, Teotihaucan Pyramids and also went to Tijuana for lunch- it had the longest immigration line ever to get back into the US, THEN I GOT NO STAMP IN MY PASSPORT! I feel cheated!))

  13. Zipline over Gators (Gator Land It was tons of fun, I wish I did the lower zipline so I could be closer to the gators.)
  14. Rap Concert-Drake vs Lil Wayne (Not my cup of tea, I liked my Rihanna concert more)
