Bucket List

After Tin Man was listed for his transplant, he came up with a bucket list he wanted to do after he recovered from his transplant.

Some included

• drive a monster truck
• visit New York City again
• NASCAR speedways

Even though he wasn't able to do anything on his list, we were able to have his picture posted in a monster truck during a show.   And we had his photo on the Donate Life car at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.


After he died, the kids and I decided to come up with our own bucket lists.  Both as a family, and as individuals. We made the rule that our family bucket list doesn't stop when the kids turn 18.  We still have to get together once a year to check off at least 1 item.

Family Bucket

• Grand Canyon (again)
• Petrified Forest
• Disney World
• Cruise
• New York City
• Washington DC
• Mount Rushmore
• Yellowstone
• Yosemite (again)
• Take train across country
• Deep sea fishing
• Visit London
• Machu Picchu
• Major League Lacrosse game
• Own chickens

As we think about things they are added to the list.
