National Parks

As I was driving to work this morning and my mind was wondering, I decided I wanted to add something to my bucket list. And now that I'm typing this I think I'm going to add two things.

1. Visit all the National Parks. I counted 61 on this list, but Yellowstone is listed on there 3 times for the 3 states that it covers. This starts now so anything I have previously visited doesn't count. That's only 4 parks anyway and I'd be happy to go back to all 4 of them. I am okay with this taking many years to accomplish. :) If you're planning a trip to or near any of these places and want to invite me, I'd be okay with that.

2. Go to all the temples in the United States. Once upon a time I had a goal to go to all of the temples and then the number of temples exploded and that was just ridiculous. I changed my goal to all the temple in Utah and finished that up in December. Again this goal will take a long time to accomplish, but I am going to count the ones I've already been to on this one. Currently there are 83 temples operating, being built or announced in the United States. I've done ordinances in 24 and been to sealings in an additional 2.
