Taking Places for Granted
Aug 29th, 2009 by Victoria Leigh
When we lived in SEA and moved off to BOS I reminisced about the things I took for granted and never did while I lived in SEA. Now that I am leaving the east coast I can easily think of the hundreds of things I didn’t do while I lived here either.
I figured I’d make a list to remind myself of all the things I want to do when I am back on the west coast. Here are the Top 25, in no particular order.
1. Redwood National Forest
2. Grand Canyon
3. Mt. Baker
4. Drive 101 through OR
5. Yosemite
6. Camping on a pacific facing beach
7. Ho Rainforest
8. Vancouver Island
9. Kayaking. Preferably around the San Juans
10. Actual Mountain Climbing with all that gear I own
11. Visit Mt. Saint Helens
12. Spend some time investigating downtown Portland
13. Moab & Bryce Canyon in Utah
14. Glacier National Park
15. Yellowstone
16. Glacier Bay, AK
17. Banff, BC, CA
18. Snowboarding Whistler – I hope for a less eventful trip this time.
19. See the Aurora
20. Grand Teton National Park
21. Skydive WA on a sunny day when the mountains are out
22. Hawaii. It’ll be much closer!
23. Visit the Black Rock Desert when there is no Burning Man
24. Hells Canyon, OR
25. Snowboard in Utah
