50 Things to Do in St. Louis

Two years ago we moved from Utah to Missouri.
We felt excited, overwhelmed, totally uneducated, completely lost on every road, and above all ready for a new adventure.
Scott was starting Tri 1. I met friends whose hubbies were in Tri 5 or 6 and I thought they were so mature, smart, and "upperclassman"-esque. I never thought we would get to that point, it just seemed so far away.
Now, Scott is working in the student clinic and is a Tri 7. That means 3 only more trimesters to go. Which is just over a year.

That means I need to make a Bucket List.
Because we only have one more Summer, one more full Fall, one more less stressful Christmas, one more New Year's, one more Spring.
Now it's overwhelming, and terribly sad, to think about how soon we will be leaving!

So without further ado, here is my

  St. Louis Bucket List for 2012-2013.

  1. Now I want to visit St. Louis! How great to make a bucket list! You've inspired me to do one for Boise. We've lived here over 10 years and there's still a TON we haven't done...
