#49: Ride bumper cars

Completed 02.26.12


Sam and I went on a Valentine's date to ride bumper cars tonight! Apparently we had really good timing, because they had just gotten the bumper cars two days ago! It was really fun, funner than you would think that just bumping into people would be. The guys at the Zap Zone were super accommodating and nice (they weren't super busy, so why not do stuff for two super cute girls!). When we were done they let us stage this photograph, and we actually had quite a few takes and they moved the cars around for us and everything. They were awesome!

Sam gave me my Valentine's gift while we were there. She said, "We've talked about it, but we never made it official...", she got down on one knee, gave me a box of chocolates and asked me to be her derby wife. *swooooooon*

I'm her #1 draft pick!!

One of the workers at Zap Zone was like, "Did you guys just get engaged over there? What just happened?" So we explained the concept of derby wives to him, and he gave us these rings to make it official!

#14: Eat 40 big breakfasts

19/40 completed


This photo is from my trip to Ft. Lauderdale to visit my parents. One morning my dad and I took a walk down to a State Park, and on the way there we stopped at a little diner with an ocean view and got breakfast. I had a GIANT smoothie. I had a cup filled 3/4 of the way full, in addition to the full cup pictured above. But it was yum. It was basically the non-alcoholic smoothie version of a pina colada.

For funsies, here's a photo of my dad at that breakfast:

#71: Walk on the beach 20x

Completed 01.23.12

As a Christmas present, my dad and Pat paid for me to fly down and stay with them at their Condo in Ft. Lauderdale for a week! For the last few years they've been renting condos down there for a couple months each winter, and I went down for a little early spring break. This is the walk my dad and I took along the ocean when I first got there, and it completed this goal.
