The List

Some of you may not think too much of Ohio, but I really do love it! We may not have the ocean, but we do have the beach (water park), Kings Island and Cedar Point. We also have some great sports teams,  amazing parks and rivers, restaurants, shopping centers and we get to enjoy all 4 seasons. I love my state and I love my city...granted I was born and raised here, but I promise there are some perks to being a Buckeye. My husband and I sat down and made our own Cincinnati Bucket List and I am finally posting the official list. I expect this list will grow and change as we add more to it and cross things off.

I haven't been to Valley Vineyard yet! I'm looking over your list realizing how many of these places i've not seen. But Hocking Hills, you have to go! They have the cutest log cabins and really beautiful trails/rivers for hiking and canoeing.

I love that you are doing this. I want to do this for my city. I never think to do touristy things especially when I live in a city full of things to do and see.

So fun! I need to do this for Nashville! I have actually been ice skating at fountain square before! It was so much fun! I went with some college friends several years back on a winter break we had.

okay this post is SERIOUSLY appreciated because Ohio is about halfway between us and our families in Chicago! We have thought about meeting halfway, but we were like, "What could we do in OHIO?!" so now we know!!

I love the idea of having a city-you-live-in/near bucket list! I think I need to do that!
