Mid-Summer Bucket List Check In

Right now, I am traveling back to Charleston from the Baseball Hall of Fame Induction in New York.  This was my 27th straight induction and no, I haven't missed one in my life.  Taking the place of a weekend recap (that I'll be sharing tomorrow), I thought I'd check in with my Summer 2015 Bucket List to see how I'm doing so far:

- Try 5 new Charleston restaurants: Mellow Mushroom, Smashburger (a little bit of a cheat haha), California Dreaming, and Santi's so far
- Parasail: We have a gift certificate, we just need to do it!
- Start an herb garden: Trying to figure out what herbs my weirdo cats can gnaw on and not get sick - haha!
- Cook dinners and s'mores on the charcoal grill: Check! We did this when my girl was in town a couple weeks ago.
- Jet-ski: Another thing we have a gift card for - just need to book it :)
- Run 10 miles each week: LOL yeah, no. BUT I did sign up for the Princess Half weekend, so I will be getting my booty in gear soon.
- Visit a new museum in Charleston: Any suggestions?
- Play golf at least twice a week: We're at about once a week right now, but I did play in two tournaments, which I haven't done in a couple years.
- Run at least 1 race: Suggestions needed here, too.
- Play tennis: Check! Here's something we've done super well on; we're playing at least once a week.
- Pick fresh fruit: Check!
- Play lots of cards: Half-check. Uno was a standard while our guest was here, and I think cribbage will be in the rotation soon!
- Bike ride: Yeah, no. Still haven't even taken the bikes off the porch yet...
- Visit every brewery in Charleston: Slacking big time here. 
- Explore Edisto Island: We want to go to Erika's spot Botany Bay sometime this summer. 
- Learn about living on a boat: We're gonna try an Air bnb on a boat for a weekend later in the summer. 

Soooo, I guess I have a lot of work to do.  But at least we still have a couple months left!

Oh you'll love the jet ski adventure. If I had a lake house I'd own one...plus a boat...all in my dreams though!

How fun that you have giftcards for all sorts of activities :) Sounds like a blast!! We definitely need to put our bikes to use more, too!

I'm game for a brewery tour any day, lady! There's one less than 2 minutes from my house ;) Also, love that you have such fun gift certificates to use. Have you been to the Gibbes Art Museum? Not new but a fave!

I love Mellow Mushroom. Such good pizza!

Some progress is better than no progress! There's still plenty of time to wrap these up and the ones you've done so far sound like a great time.

Parasailing will be fun! There is a new smashburger near me but I haven't gone yet.
