It's such a surreal moment when you're doing something that you have always dreamed of doing. Whether it's accomplishing a goal or fulfilling an item on your bucket list, there is no greater feeling of satisfaction, happiness, and accomplishment. Well, I felt that way when I got to ride in a hot air balloon. I know, it may seem like a minuscule feat but it was incredible.

I was unsure of what this flight would be like. Not to my surprise, it was a lot like parasailing - very calm. The only movement you really felt was if someone shifted around in the basket. The flight taken was given from Napa Valley Aloft, which I highly recommend if you are ever in the Napa area.

I've always had a bucket list. It wasn't until a few weeks ago, I really sat down and wrote that list out. Although I'm a list gal, when I look at this list I can't help but feel a little defeated. There's no doubt I want to complete all of the items - but it's definitely a daunting task. As of late, I've realized that there is nothing you should stop yourself from doing. If you want to travel around the world, sail the Pacific, eat your way through Italy, visit all the 50 states, learn a new language, or take a cooking class - then you should just do it! We make way too many excuses - if you find yourself doing this, find someone who you can accomplish these goals with! I'll hop off of my soapbox - on to the next bucket list item. What do you think it should be? ---> http://www.taymeetsworld.com/2016/08/an-updated-bucket-list.html
