Wow! That is some list. You forgot one thing; visit the Paddock's in South Carolina. So, tell me how you came up with this list. Do you have it posted somewhere? I would like to do something like this. Every year we end summer with 'I wish we had done this' or I wish we had done that'.
Thanks for sharing.

So do you think we could coordinate something this time if you do make it to NC? It is #6 on the list.
