Top ten wanna-dos in the US

Today, the Tan family took a ferry ride across Lake Washington to a little town called Bremerton and back.

It was the girls’ first time riding on a water transportation, so yes, BIG step. Here’s a pic of me holding on to both my girls for fear of the strong winds blowing them off the boat.

More pictures here.

In other news, Lokes and I came up with a list of ten things that we promised ourselves that we would HAVE to do before we go home (or ever leave the US to live somewhere else – waseh, like real!):

  1. Go to a concert (if Coldplay comes to Seattle, we’re there)
  2. Learn to ski
  3. Buy a mobile home
  4. Drive it through the US
  5. And visit New York
  6. Live in a cabin in the mountains
  7. Go for a hot air balloon ride over the Grand Canyon
  8. Go to Superbowl!
  9. Visit Mount Rushmore
  10. Visit Alaska and experience the Northern Lights

“Imagine if we took a year each to visit all the states!” I’d said.

“It would take us until we’re in our 80s!” Lokes replied.

Boy, this is some big country.

    That’s a great picture. And a great list. I’ve done two and a half of your ten — I’ve been to a concert and to NY. And I’ve seen the Northern Lights, but not from Alaska. :)

    Great pics. Looks like a fun day. Reading your list and seeing the photos really made me “homesick”. Miss the States very much :(

    We’re planning to go whale-watching this coming weekend, tickets-permitting. Have to cram all our trips in time before the sunshine peters out!

    Rhode Island and Connecticut are small… They could take only 6 months.

    I feel left behind, only done number 1. I went to watch the Eagles in Singapore a couple of years back… cost me my arm, my leg, and my left ear; but definitely worth it.
