10. Go four wheeling-- Check!
11. Go hiking--Check!
12. Make s'mores and sit by the fire--Nope but we did make s'mores bars so that's good enough for us.
13. Float in the pool or lake-- Check!
14. Try paddle boarding-- Nope! I was hoping to try this in North Carolina with some of the rental places I had found online but it rained so much of the time we were there that we couldn't do much outside.

Recipes/ food we want to try and/or make:
1. Cheese Danish-- Nope!

| Boombalatti's cinnamon oatmeal cookie ice cream |
3.Make homemade clam chowder like they used to serve at Rocky Point- Check!
4. Peach berry fruit salad-- Check?! While I ended up using entire different fruit I did use the honey/lime dressing from this post to make my fruit salad for the 4th of July party this year so I'm counting it as good enough.

6. Try making scallops-- Check!
7. Grilled romaine lettuce --Check!
