Summer 2011 Bucket List

I arrived back home on Sunday, May 8th after a long semester at Babson College.  I am extremely excited to be back in vacationland with my friends and family.  If you do not know me, you should know I am a very active person who enjoys a challenge.  The day after I arrived back home I constructed a bucket list of all the things I plan to do while I am home.  Last summer I made one and crossed everything off and some.  I plan to do the same this summer.  Here it is for summer 2011.  Don’t you worry – I will most likely blog about half of it.
