1. Go on at least one road trip!
Done. – One road trip taken so far to Blowing Rock, NC.
The kids are always excited to go on a road trip!
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Blowing Rock South and it was a beautiful hotel with nice staff, a very clean comfortable room, tasty full continental breakfast and a pool for the kids!
We ate the Magical Mystery and it was delicious! This place has much more than the typical pizza joint! This was our first time ever eating at a Mellow Mushroom if you live near one then you know it’s good if you happen to come across one and have never tried it then we highly recommend it!
We enjoyed some shopping at a health food store that we’d never been to – Earth Fare
They have a great selection and it would be nice if we had one close to home!
2. Eat a new kind of food/cuisine we have never eaten before.
Done. – We went to a wonderful Haitian/Ethiopian restaurant in KC for lunch to celebrate Dad and Moms 3oth wedding anniversary and the food was amazing and the owner/chef was wonderful. It truly was a great experience!
A haitian meal – Goat Meat
Ethiopian Lamb
Haitian Blackend Red Snapper
A dessert on the house for my parents celebrating their 30th!

All other things on our summer bucket list we either haven’t done or are still doing. 
I will be sure to do another update before summer is over!
I haven't seen Styx in years! I'm sure it was a great concert. I would enjoy seeing REO in concert too, never have...yet!
It was a wonderful time and a great concert!
Looks like your summer so far has been an eventful one! I love all kinds of music and an outdoor concert would be fun! From the pics it looks like a great summer!
Hey Mel! Yes it's been a great summer so far! Trying to enjoy it but with all this HEAT we've been getting it's quite the challenge! :)
