This is fun! Unfortunately, I am past the 30 mark so I would probably have to make a "before i'm 35 or 40 list." ha ha!
btw - The Biltmore is awesome!! We went there for our 1st anniversary and I loved it. Also going to the derm. for a skin check is sooooo worth it! I have already had about 4 surgeries to remove pre-cancerous moles. It's much better to catch stuff early. :)
Good luck on your list!!
It is fun. And a lot of the people who made this list for their 30th go on to make 31 before 31, etc. It is a nice way to do things you have always meant to do and step outside the box.
I cannot wait to go to the Biltmore. I think my parents have been a time or two, and I live in NC and still have yet to go. I am with you on the dermatologist. Some relatives have had skin cancer, so I know I need to be diligent in going.
I think #2, 19, and 24 are the three hardest, but I'm not sure what order to put them in. Best of luck with those.
I'm personally looking forward to the side benefits of #1, 11, 16, and 22. :-)
The obvious cop-out is #29. Seriously. #12 is similarly easy, but that one is at least cool. The only 'nutmeg' that's even remotely cool is the one that happens in soccer.
Still, I love lists like this. If you don't have goals, then you'll never reach them. Let me know if there's anyway that I can help!
Make sangria! Yummy!

I'm with you on #18. I just need to find one of those plastic containers to keep in my fridge. Oh, and let me know when you do #26...sounds yummy!!!
I found a plastic container that seems to work at Walmart, but it was quite the search to locate one. I think it would have been faster and easier to order one from Amazon or go to a restaurant supply store.
