A week and a half in and I already have 2 spots filled in...not too shabby. Years ago, Tim and I went to the Florida Aquarium...done and done. And, while I may not be joining any student organizations, I think the fact that I oversee all of them gives me points on number 26. Finally, I've been to all four Disney parks, I just need to work on Universal now (which, in the past, has been purposely avoided...ugh). Only 48.5 more to go...
