Lists Part 2

Ok.... since I gave Heidi the idea, I had to copy her and see how many of the list of my Renter's 101 things she would like to do that I have done...

So here is my response to her list:
1. Go to bar, hang out, drink alcohol by myself and enjoy it – By myself?  Hmm... not alone..
2. Play laser tag – done, I think?  We had a couple places here when it was the thing.
3. Get a Professional massage and/or full spa day – Done.  Best one was the one my husband bought me for our honeymoon.
4. Jump on a trampoline – Done that.  Last time was last Spring at my Aunt and Uncle's house... had to kick my kids off for some serious jumping!
5. Host dinner party for at least 8 – Nope, we need 8 friends to do that!! 

6. Visit a museum and/or art gallery – Done both.  Science and Children's Museum here, as well as the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. and the Minneapolis Institute of Art and Walker Art Museums.
7. Go to Rein Faire in Full Costume – I take it that means a Renissance Fair?  I have been to it, but not dressed up - I am sure my friend Laura could help me with that.
8. Sleep in a water bed – My parents had one when I was born and there are pictures of me sleeping/laying on it.  Not a big fan though.
9. Make note of where I am when my car turns 100,000 miles – I did that with my Honda Accord.. I was on the way home from the bus stop in 2000 or 2001 when we lived in Minnetonka.... don't have that car anymore though.
10. Visit a planetarium – Done this multiple times growing up... we have a cool one in Minneapolis (well it is closed right now with the library remodel.. no clue when/if it will open back up.)

11. Participate in a wine tasting and/or winery tour – Haven't done that... does a brewery tour count?  (Coors in Golden, CO).
12. Do a High Tea somewhere – Oooh Tonya wants to do this sometime.
13. Play chess – Yes
