30 By 30: Go Fly A Kite

This past weekend, Bret and I offered to babysit Bret's four-year old nephew.  I know that I'm biased, but Noah has to be the most hysterical, contemplative, and bright four-year old in the world.  Like I said, I know I'm biased.  We did lots of things together in a short span of twenty-four hours, including crossing another item off my 30 by 30 list. 



I've got to say that I have never had as much fun working on my 30 by 30 list than I did flying a kite with the little guy.



1. Run a 5K.
2. Go camping, like real camping...overnight...in a tent.
3. Pay off all of my credit card debt.
6. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge.
7. Go out to dinner and a movie by myself.
8. Watch all three of the original Star Wars movies.
11. Write a letter of apology to someone that I have wronged and send it.
12. Experiment with molecular gastronomy.
13. Learn to drive stick shift.
14. Learn to make my own kimchi.
15. Learn how to change a car tire.
16. Go to a shooting range.
19. Cook a three-course vegan dinner for my vegan friends.
20. Make turducken for the first time.
22. Complete thirty (30) hours of community service or volunteering.
23. Finish an entire plate of Hell Pasta from East Coast Grill.
24. Floss every day.
  • So far I've only missed four days of flossing since January 14th!
25. Take a self-defense course.
27. Make gnocchi for the first time.
28. Fly a kite.
29. Milk a cow.
30. Participate in a city dinner crawl, which means having cocktails, appetizer, dinner, dessert and post-dinner cocktails each at a different place in one city in one night.



There is nothing more rewarding than a child's amazement and joy at something as simple as flying a kite.
