5. Watched a Meteor Shower
6. Given more than you can afford to charity
7. Been to Disneyland (Happiest place on Earth! Especially taking your three year-old nephew! I'm still trying to convince Scott we should make a stop next time we're visiting the family in SB)

13. Watched a lightning storm at sea (Does the ocean count?)
14. Taught yourself an art from scratch (The violin? Quilting?)
15. Adopted a child (Eh. No.)
16. Had food poisoning (Blasted Costa Vida Pork Salad. Claimed half of my apartment complex as victims! Three days later I was so fatigued that I passed out one night while sitting in the bathroom sink... just something I do... and I fell to the ground and dislocated my shoulder. Luckily a friend who was an EMT happened to be across the street and popped it back into place.)
17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty (In middle school.)

29. Seen a total eclipse

33. Seen Niagara Falls in person (from the America side)
34. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors (Stood right at Liverpool thinking of family members who came through there. When I was in Scotland, I visited the castle of the Burnett Family, Crathes Castle. These are my dad's ancestors who settle in Eden. Their cabin now stands at This Is The Place Park. Isabel Burnett had brown curly hair, played the violin, and was a writer. I love family history. I was excited to visit the castle. I asked for a family discount, but the person didn't so much as snicker.)
35. Seen an Amish community (Yes. While on a church history tour in high school. I can't remember which one though or where we were. I know it was a large, well known community.)
36. Taught yourself a new language (Spanish. I also feel quite fluent in "Guy" thanks to my many guy friends over the years)

66. Visited a Nazi Concentration Camp
67. Bounced a check
