Bucket List

In April Clint was offered a new job with Banfield Pet Hospitals and would require us to move to Portland, Oregon.  Needless to say things have been a little crazy as we set in motion another move.  We have been married less than 5 years and in that time--3 different states, 3 different jobs for Clint and 3 different jobs for me (one of them now my current job of giving birth and helping to raise our two children).  Life certainly just keeps moving forward and keeps getting better.  Knowing that we have limited time left in NJ and on the East Coast we of course have a Bucket List that we wanted to tackle before we left....

Here are a few we have checked off so far:

1.  Gettysburg


2. Philadelphia and tour of Independence Hall

3.  Eat Amish Sticky Buns at the Terminal Market in Philly
4. Hershey, PA  (this was Nancy's idea, Clint felt a bit uncomfortable since he works for Mars...I told him to just view it as checking out the competition)
5. Harmony, PA


6. Run a Half Marathon in Jersey

7.  See Lion King on Broadway
8.  One more day in NYC as a family (and ride the subway with David)
9. Visit New Canaan (shop at Penny Weights, eat a #29 from Club Sandwich, go to Stew Leonard's)

A few we are still working on:
1. Go to the Jersey Shore one final time
2. See a Yankees game
3.  Eat a waffle from the waffle cart in Columbus Circle
4. Bike across the Brooklyn Bridge
5.  Visit the Natural History Museum in NYC
6.  Climb to the crown of the Statue of Liberty

We did decide that it is ok if we don't get everything on our list checked off, because we feel you need to leave some things unchecked so you have an excuse to return!

love the list...we did all of those except the sticky buns, the waffle, and visit New Canaan. Oh, and never ran a half in Jersey. Way to go!!I am so excited for you and your big move!! You'll love it! One the other hand, it IS sad to leave all of those great people behind and fun sites. Did you get my message I left you? Call me when you get a chance.
