Katie’s Bucket List

A bucket list is a list of goals and activities that you wish to experience in your lifetime.

The first bucket list I created was on a road trip to San Diego with four of my girlfriends.  Ten years later, my list may have evolved slightly, but it still represents the things I wish to accomplish.  Here is my most recent bucket list.  Links lead to pictures of what I have achieved so far!
