Birthday List Beginnings

When I turned 30, I decided to make a list of 30 things that I had not done that I wanted to try to accomplish in my 30th year. After all, life is short, and I want to go out knowing that I truly LIVED the life that I had.
That year's amazing experiences, adventures, and fun times make me want to keep the list going. I've decided to use this blog space to document the adventures...and to update and add to the list each year.
To see what I've accomplished, click on the archive links on the right to go to specific items from the list in order of the date they were accomplished. New, partially accomplished, or not started items can be found under "November 2011," since I have the year to work on them.
Let me know what adventures you'd like to join me in! You can use the "comment" function to leave me notes. I hope I inspire you to create a list of your own...let me know and if you need someone to join you in your adventures. I'll probably be up for it!

Try Kayaking- Completed 10/20/07


I finally got to try out Kayaking. I went to Charleston, South Carolina with Heather, Theresa, and Michele for a girls' weekend. We booked a kayak tour with Coastal Expeditions, a company that organizes kayaking, canoeing and other types of explorations of the coastal waterways.

The four hour tour was a lot of fun, but also a lot of hard work. My arms, shoulders and back were exhausted at the end of the day. Heather and I shared a kayak and had to learn how to coordinate our paddling and steering. We took a break from all the paddling to stop on a little island and search for shark's teeth.

The tour was very interesting and we got lucky with perfect weather for our trek. I think I'd still like to try white-water kayaking, but next time I'll get my arms in better shape and do a little training first.
