50 before 50

I got this idea after hearing about a lady who blogged about her 49 before 50 list when she turned 49.  I feel I've got it a little easier since I've got 5 whole years before I need to complete my list.  She only has one year.

To pass the time during our commute to and from the lake last weekend, I decided to start on my 50:

1.  Skydive
2.  Hike the Grand Canyon
3.  Swim with Manta Rays
4.  Wake Surf
5.  Raft the Colorado River
6.  Zorb Down a hill
7.  Shoot a gun
8.  Learn how to water color - Brian says, didn't you learn that in 2nd grade?
9.  Watch a total eclipse - Is there one in the next 5 years?
10.  Golf Troon
11.  Have a past life reading
12.  Hike the Camino Del Inca
13.  Take my kids to see the Blue Angels
14.  Take a sailing class
15.  Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga class - If you know me, and how much I yoga, it's hard to believe I haven't done this yet.
16.  Learn how to drive a motorcycle
17.  Mechanical Bull Ride
18.  Salt River Tubing
19.

You'll notice that my list doesn't include too many exotic locations except for maybe #12 in Peru.  I didn't want to feel obligated to travel somewhere to check off something from my list.  I wish I had the money to have that luxury.  Believe me, this list would be much easier to write if money were no object.

The beauty about making this list is that I can actually go through my ideas and say "No, I did that already....that, too...check!" Yes, I can confidently say that I've done a lot in my 45 years even without a list to check off.  That makes being 45 pretty satisfying.

Feel free to chime in with any ideas!
