My New Hampshire TDL

The idea behind leaving Texas for Grad school was that I'd get a ton of new experiences. Why not go spend 2 years far away? I had the opportunity and I took it! Since I've moved, I've made it my goal to do as many cool/new things as possible. On that note, I've created a To Do List so I get the most out of my 2 years. Who knows where I'll go from here?



My NHTDL:

- See some light houses

- Visit Boston (Freedom Trail, Fanuil Hall/ the Cheers Bar, Fenway, and the Aquarium are all on my list of things to do there.)

- Go to a Redsox game at Fenway (My boss and the head of my academic department apparently give away tickets occasionally. Maybe the Rangers will come to play the Red Sox up here. That would be an awesome game!)

- Visit Canada (I need to get my passport first)

- Go sledding

- Go mountain biking

- Visit NY (I might have to make a few trips but I want to see the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island, Macy's/the square, Central Park, the Met, the MOMA, see something on Broadway, Ground Zero, Times Square, Grand Central Station, and Eloise's portrait at The Plaza)

- Go skiing

- Build a snowman

- Get my Master's Degree

- Do the Cliff Walk in Ogunquit

- Ride the train somewhere (I am probably heading to New Jersey on the train for Turkey Day)

-Visit D.C. (I know its kind of far but really, it's no longer than the drive from Dallas to San Antonia which I've done several times. As long as I make it a weekend trip, it's totally worth it!) I want to go on the White House Tour and see all the history/political stuff but I also want to go to the United States Botanical Garden.

-Visit the Flume Gorge State Park (Suggestion from my Grandmother's BFF)


Cool things I've all ready done since moving to NH:

- Ate Lobster ((YUM!)) and Sword Fish and Scallops wrapped in Bacon

- Went to the beach in Maine (Its been years since I've played in the Atlantic Ocean!)

- Visited the Nubble Light House

- Kayaked and played at the lake

- Went Ice Skating

- Visited an Irish pub with authentic live music

- Competed in a Trivia Challenge at a bar

- Played Ice Hockey

- Visited the Children's Science Museum

- Played Wheel Chair Rugby (It was a fantastic workout!)

- Tried Caviar ((YUK!))

- Ate some awesome Greek food (Falafel and Lamb)

- Heard some work friends play in a Bagpipe band

-Went to the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival (We watched a Sand Sculpture Artist work and skydivers, ate a ton of delicious seafood and did some Christmas shopping)

-Joined a broomball team (Intramural Champs? I think so!) We got our butts kicked first week but we're ready to whoop up now ;-)

Some of these I've all ready done before but not very often. Their novelty made them acceptable additions to the list
