  1. Great list! But I noticed a mistake. On number 12 you accidentally forgot to put "Poland" after France and Italy. Oops! Or maybe you were planning to bike here as part of number 22?

    I loved this. Very revealing. It reveals that you guys really are the awesome people I've suspected you were. :)

  2. Well, biking in Poland is very tempting - because of course you said that Poland is flat, and me plus biking on flat surfaces, is a very good thing (I'm not good at hills). But regardless, if I ever, ever make it to Europe when you're there, I promise I'll come to Poland - and then you could show us around, and we could pretend we're natives (mute natives?) and not tacky tourists, and it will be awesome.

  3. So, about half of your list would be on mine too! I should probably make one. I love your blog and would love if you would stop by mine and say hello!

  4. Gen-con is easy... my hubby did it last year. Which is 4 years after we moved away from Indy, where it is held. If you run some games, it costs less and you even make some money.

    Being one of a family of six, I'd warn you-- your kids don't want to be one of six. Really!

    Peace, Mari

    1. Sorry sorry, Thora, but Mari's right. Your kids probably want to be one of 11, like me. Especially that 10th child/7th daughter named Carol that you're goin to have.
