Why wait until summer to do those things? My husband and I just got back from a 7 day Mexican cruise, and it was less than $500 per person!! It was wonderful looking at the cold weather reports back home while sitting on the warm sand with my drink in hand. I totally recommend it!

Don’t wait to go to the Capitol — the General Assembly is in session Jan – Feb! You’ll see your elected representatives in action. The two chambers go into session at noon every day, so make sure you’re there around that time and get a chance to sit in the gallery above.

I was also remembering the fun summer days that didn’t involve kiddos. Not that little ones couldn’t be incorporated into some of those fun activities that you listed, but it’s funny–once you have children, you sort of pine for those summer days when you used to just lie out in the sun all afternoon, doing nothing but reading and dozing (wearing sunscreen, of course!). Kiddos sort of make that impossible.

Great idea, though! I think I’ll start a list too.

I am glad to hear that you use sunscreen all year long! (though you should up it up to at least 30 when you are outside skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, sledding, etc.)

I started a list of things I want to do each season and am posting it on my blog so that my friends can tag along on my adventures as well.

I love this idea. We forget how miserable we are in the winter when the weather is great. I am going to sit my family down and make them write the list.

….he also started his rain barrels this past summer. They’ve worked out very nicely.

This is great! My husband LOVES some frisbee golf! We have a course next to our house and he is always looking for people to play with….

My husband and I totally do this. It’s such a great idea. We made the list as winter was becoming spring, and I taped it on the fridge so I’d have some things to look forward to!

Heyo! We are building our rain barrel this summer, too! There is a juice factory just up the Allegheny River and we canoed out to salvage some litter (a giant, floating barrel that got away from the juice people). Now we just need to get the spout and drill a hole in the top when the weather gets…well when it’s more than 10 degrees.
