A lot of these are about having traveled. Which makes me realize how few places I have been.

Thanks for sharing...great post!
I have done this meme, too. It's a good one! Two things you have done that I haven't done but have no excuse: Served in a soup kitchen and seen the Grand Canyon.
I lived thirty minutes from the Great Salt Lake for six years and never even stood on the shore!
