Charleston Treasure's Top 50 Bucket List

Do you make lists?  Do you feel the need to write things down? To remember? We do.  I do.  The mister?  Not so much.  His lists run in his head. But at 6:30 this morning, we actually made a list.  Our list.  The Charleston Treasure's Top 50 Bucket List.

 Mind you, we have done a lot in the two and a half years since we moved here but there are still several things that we have yet to accomplish.  So, what did we do?  Brainstorm.  Discuss.  And.....I made a list.  It turned out a bit longer than we had initially planned but it's done.  And, now the race is on.  How many of these things can we cross off of our list before the end of the year?  Here goes....
