Even without my camera...

I'll still post my adventures from the past few weeks!

Working from the bottom up of my list...

95. Buy and do/complete a "Wreck This" Journal.

I've bought mine, and I started playing around with it. But it's challenging because I have such a hard time wrecking a book!! I'm trying to do everything so neatly and perfectly. It's designed to get messy and fun, to foster creativity. That's why I bought it. I need to let go!

My work in progress - progressing through the book, progressing to get messier.

81. Go to the beach in winter.

A mistake!! As my mom often says, "I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong." It turns out I was not at the beach in winter. It was the first day of spring!! Although a gorgeous day (which I will hopefully someday post the photos of), it does not count!

But, I spent a wonderful and silly day with my sister. It consisted of climbing rocks, sliding on rocks to step into the freezing ocean, and rescuing my sister from the statue that tried to eat her. I can't wait to put up the photos.

80. Visit all my family members.

• Meg: 3/18/11 - 3/20/11

What a wonderful trip! I had a blast with my sister. From running along Riverside Drive, playing Dominion at Suzy and Carl's, a drag show at Lucky Chengs, a sister night with Thai food, to a glorious day in Montauk. I want to go back, and spend more time with Miss Meg. Maybe 20 days?

66. Try a new restaurant an average of once a month. (6/33)

1. Tribes Alehouse - Mokena, IL; 3/5/11
2. Famous Dave's - Bolingbrook, IL; 3/8/11
3. Booeymongers - Washington D.C.; 3/15/11
4. Ghana Cafe - Washington D.C.; 3/16/11
5. Community Food & Juice - New York, NY; 3/18/11
6. Lucky Chengs - New York, NY; 3/18/11

I met a friend from high school at Booeymongers; it's a cute sandwich chain in the D.C. area. Yummy cheap sandwiches. I was happy!

Ghana Cafe was delicious! Vegetarian African food. I loved everything I ate! Highly recommended if you are in D.C.

I walked by Community Food & Juice all the time when I lived in NYC - easily twice a week. I finally ate brunch there by myself one day during my Manhattan visit. Organic, free range, local ingredients, and delicious food

Lucky Chengs is a drag show/restaurant that my sister will hopefully post about when she gets the photos off my camera. The food was ok, the show wasn't great, but our waitress and my company were wonderful.

So far, I'm learning I need to photograph more of these experiences. It makes everything more interesting and authentic!
