No.

Just because you're bitter about never having had real fun before doesn't mean you have to make Bear suffer too

 

[vetmedhead]

I think my ideal road trip would be one where I not only visit a bunch of national parks but also a bunch of the big zoos in the country. Basically would be the best trip ever.

This sounds fun! Although I feel like a national park trip and a zoo trip should be separated just because they tend to be in such different areas (with zoos tending to be nearer to cities).

If I did a zoo road trip I would combine it with a museum road trip and visit some amazing science/history/art museums in addition to the zoos.

 

[vetmedhead]

Antiquing is vaguely planned for some time in the near future! I've never done it before.

Do it! My friend once found an authentic typewriter from the 1920's that still worked perfectly.

Man now I need two trips...

So much yes to the museums though. I miss having the various Carnegie museums so easily accessible (and free!).

Speaking of, DOES ANYONE WANT TO TAKE ME TO WASHINGTON D.C. AND LET ME FREAK OUT IN THE SMITHSONIAN AND ALL OF THE OTHER HISTORICAL LOCATIONS FOR LIKE A MONTH?!

That whole city is on my bucket list because I love history, but I know I would need a week minimum there to feel even remotely satisfied.

I WANT THIS SO BAD
I was just saying when we were watching the shining that I would love to have an old, working typewriter

I want to do a museum road trip!

I'd rather pick one national park to explore really thoroughly than do a road trip with 3+.

I'm offended that you equate Michigan to suffering.
Does this mean you'll never come visit me? Breaking my heart.

Take me with you, I've never been

Once went to Chicago and did the zoo, field museum, aquarium, science museum, and art museum in the span of a few days. I was in heaven.

We'll have to meet in a predetermined location. 😏

I would.

I could kind of spend all day in the Natural History Smithsonian though... we may need an entire month.

 

[vetmedhead]

Also, Broadway specifically and NYC in general are totally on my "I want to go to there" list.

Lowkey considering just moving there for a summer

That's a good point. I guess I need several trips...

 

[Bottle of Bear]

I have done that and it's way less fun than real tubing.

Also, @Bottle of Bear, have you ever been kayaking or paddleboarding? You may try those too.

Yea, more fun on a river though

 

[PrincessButterCup]

I'd love to go visit a big city (like New York or San Francisco or London) and go to the ballet and feel like a fancy, big-city person. And visit museums and art galleries and stuff, but really I'd go just to see a big ballet production.

 

[vetmedhead]

Oh also @cdoconn if you've never been and have some time you should check out the museum of osteology in OKC. Fascinating place!

 

[WildZoo]

I saw Les Mis on Broadway a couple years ago 😍

Also went to a weird reading/performance of some Lovecraft story that night.

And on a different trip spent an entire day at the Met, which was fantastic.

 

[Balesofhay]

VMH come visit me then. I'm 30 minutes to a fairly safe metro station. Been to almost all the museums. Except Spy bc you have to pay. Then we can take Naptown by storm and ogle the midshipmen

I've only seen little productions because I apparently like to support local theater and arts. 😛

In Denver every year around Christmas they do a free rendition of The Nutcracker that I've heard is good, but I never want to drive down to Denver and fight the crowds to get in.

 

[Balesofhay]

Tubing on the Shenandoah or white water rafting on the Nantahala. Also plan on going hiking the week between finals and graduation here. There's a lot of neat places in upstate SC

I would cry

THE SPY MUSEUM IS HELLA COOL.

 

[Bottle of Bear]

Can't forget to hit up some local breweries

When my mom was younger her work had her commute to NYC all the time and she used to just buy Broadway tickets when she was there and see a different show every night. Her love of musicals is where I got mine from and if I ever have the money I want to surprise her with a trip to NYC to see musicals again because she hasn't been in years.

 

[Balesofhay]

Can't forget to hit up some local breweries

Go to Charleston for that. They have some nice local beer. The city and surrounding area is amazing

 

[WildZoo]

Itchetucknee is great for tubing. I really haven't been there enough times considering how close it is to where I grew up in FL.

 

[vetmedhead]

Can't forget to hit up some local breweries

Oh, that was an implied requirement

 

[Balesofhay]

YO MY AUNT LIVES RIGHT IN DC.

So we all crash your aunts while she's away? Bc I don't think my parents will be down for strangers coming over

 

[SkiOtter]

Grand Rapids, MI was voted Beer City USA

I've seen a lot of student performances. I support local stuff! It's just, my local stuff is way less cool.

 

[finnickthedog]

YO MY AUNT LIVES RIGHT IN DC.

I got family right by DC. More things we have in common Ski. More things.

 

[Balesofhay]

So us. D.C. Summer. Yes.

 

[SkiOtter]

I mean, 2/3 of her kids are away at college (though it's Georgetown so like right down the street) so she's got space. IM SURE SHED LOVE TO HAVE RANDOM STRANGERS CRASH IN HER HOUSE.

I'm not a stranger, I just have a lot of feelings about history

 

[Balesofhay]

My brain won't slow down enough for sleep so I'm here until I crash

 

[vetmedhead]

Oh, I just mainly go to local stuff because it's way cheaper! Haha

 

[vetmedhead]

We've got tons of craft breweries all over Colorado. Plus it's always fun to go to a restaurant and realize they also brew their own beer, so you can just say "Surprise me" and see what happens.

Best thing I ever got was Jalapeño beer.

There was a good sweet potato stout I tried once. The Bay Street biergarten is good... as long as you can actually pour beer and not get 7/8 head like me

Hey class of 21 pilots: I'm making a prevet bucket list of things to do before vet school, and I'm looking to add some ideas. What are you all wanting to do before you go off into the wild blue yonder

Well... I turn 21 this summer, so I think y'all all know my summer bucket list. 😉

 

[SkiOtter]

CDO NO

You drink anyway. It might actually be more of a shock to your system to take a sobriety day. 😉

 

[cdo96]

I haven't actually! Apparently, there's a lot to OK I haven't seen!

The OKC art museum is neat too!

Hey now, I've been sober for like 10 days now (not that my sobriety is ever an issue for me- I promise I'm not a raging alcoholic). My body needs a drink after this week.
