How I Did on my Spring Bucket List & My Summer Bucket List

This weekend marks the official start of summer and before I share my summer bucket list I want to look back at how I did with my spring bucket list. Today I'm joining in with my fellow bucket list bloggers and I hope you'll join us linking up any bucket list/goals with us. 

 

First a look back at my Spring Bucket List:

1. Go on blogging ladies trip--Check! We went to Asheville and met another blogger, Joyce.

2. Move Alec back home from college--Check! 

3. Go to Utah to visit several national parks-- Check! 

 

 

4. Practice using my calligraphy pen/ink set at least once a month-- Nope! I realized that I'm not motivated to do this because I never used my calligraphy pen and ink set to actually do calligraphy. I used to use my pen for drawing so I've started looking up some drawing inspiration ideas and may give this a go soon. 

5. Head to Acadia with my husband to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary-- check! 

6.  Go on lots of lovely hikes! A BIG Ol' Check! -- We had so many lovely hikes between the 6 national parks we visited this spring and the assorted state parks we visited.
