I was so busy at work yesterday that I missed that everyone was talking about bucket lists! While I do have an overall bucket list that I'm constantly adding things to, I did one for Valentine's Day as a gift for my boyfriend. He's a native Texan, and I'm a Cajun. I admit that I know nothing about the state of Texas, even after living here for a year and a half. To prove this, I attempted to locate major Texas cities on a blank Texas map. (I was no where close on a few, but in the general area on most of them.) I also made a gift basket of products from Texas based companies that I love (ex: Dr Pepper, Shinerbock, etc.). I also made a Texas Bucket List. I felt this would give me ideas on what to do this summer when I have some free time, and hopefully this would be a basis for many trips to come. It's a work in progress as well, but here is my Texas Bucket List:
- Eat a donut the size of my head (Round Rock)
- NASA
- Texas Craft Brewers Festival
- All zoos/aquariums (why pick when you don't have to?)
- Natural Bridge Caverns
- Fredericksburg
- Tour the Blue Bell factory
- State Fair (who doesn't love a good fair?)
- Shiner Brewery Tour
- Austin Bats
- Circus Museum in San Antonio
- Stonehenge II
- Grapevine at Christmas
- Crawfish Festival (As a Cajun, I'm intrigued that Texas would have one of these)
- Cowboy Mardi Gras (Again, I'm intrigued by the combo)
- Learn to ride a horse
- Spray paint a car at Cadillac Ranch (I've got mad art skills!)
- "Marvel at the painted churches in Little Bohemia" (To quote Texas Monthly)
- Tree Sculptures in Galveston
- Gorman Falls
The more I looked into what Texas has to offer, there is a never ending supply of things to do in this state to keep myself from going bored when I actually have time to explore it.
