Hometown Bucket List

As our move date approaches (October 20th is our travel day!!), I find myself wishing I had explored my hometown more. I've lived here for 30 years, and yet there are still so many places I've always wanted to go to but never have.

There's a fun Asian restaurant not far from my house - that statement is really funny because I live on the edge of Chinatown, so there are like a million Asian restos not far from my house - but this one in particular I've always wanted to try. I probably won't since if I go during the week I need to line up a sitter. And I already have a few week night outings that require a sitter. I don't want people to be annoyed with all the sitting requests. So I have to pick and choose what to do. And on weekends, Mike is home and we do family-specific things, and bringing the babe to this resto doesn't fall under that umbrella. No big deal, I'm just getting all whistful these days.

Has that happened to you? Where you've lived in a place for so loing, but you feel like you haven't really explored the place? and just stick to your regular haunts?

  1. We ALWAYS do that! After 5 moves we have gotten better about being tourists in our own town, but we still gravitate towards the familiar. Hey, how did your massage go? I'm so curious!
