Top Eleven

If you know me, you already know that I am always researching new adventures and places I want to go and see.  So I compiled a top eleven things that I dream of doing in my lifetime.  Now I may never get to all of them, but it's always fun to have something to strive for. What are some things you would like to do in your lifetime?  Any great adventures or goals?  Let me know and it may give me more ideas to add to my list! 



1.  TMB France



1.  Hike Tour De Blanc, otherwise known as TMB, which circles the highest mountain in Western Europe.  This 100 mile trail around Mt. Blanc travels through France, Italy, and Switzerland and takes approximately 10 days.
