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

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).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.
Do it! My friend once found an authentic typewriter from the 1920's that still worked perfectly.Antiquing is vaguely planned for some time in the near future! I've never done it before.
Man now I need two trips...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.
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?!This sounds fun!

Take me with you, I've never beenSpeaking 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.
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.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!).
We'll have to meet in a predetermined location.I'm offended that you equate Michigan to suffering.
Does this mean you'll never come visit me? Breaking my heart.

Lowkey considering just moving there for a summerI would.
I could kind of spend all day in the Natural History Smithsonian though... we may need an entire month.
That's a good point. I guess I need several trips...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 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.
I saw Les Mis on Broadway a couple years agoAlso, Broadway specifically and NYC in general are totally on my "I want to go to there" list.
I've only seen little productions because I apparently like to support local theater and arts.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.
Yea, more fun on a river though
I would cryVMH 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
THE SPY MUSEUM IS HELLA COOL.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
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.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.
Can't forget to hit up some local breweries
Oh, that was an implied requirementCan't forget to hit up some local breweries

I've seen a lot of student performances. I support local stuff! It's just, my local stuff is way less cool.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.
YO MY AUNT LIVES RIGHT IN DC.
I got family right by DC. More things we have in common Ski. More things.
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.So we all crash your aunts while she's away? Bc I don't think my parents will be down for strangers coming over
I'm not a stranger, I just have a lot of feelings about historySo we all crash your aunts while she's away? Bc I don't think my parents will be down for strangers coming over
Oh, I just mainly go to local stuff because it's way cheaper! HahaI've seen a lot of student performances. I support local stuff! It's just, my local stuff is way less cool.
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.
Well... I turn 21 this summer, so I think y'all all know my summer bucket list.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
CDO NOWell... I turn 21 this summer, so I think y'all all know my summer bucket list.
You drink anyway. It might actually be more of a shock to your system to take a sobriety day.Well... I turn 21 this summer, so I think y'all all know my summer bucket list.
I haven't actually! Apparently, there's a lot to OK I haven't seen!Oh also @cdoconn if you've never been and have some time you should check out the museum of osteology in OKC. Fascinating place!
The OKC art museum is neat too!I haven't actually! Apparently, there's a lot to OK I haven't seen!
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.You drink anyway. It might actually be more of a shock to your system to take a sobriety day.
