I love Bucket Lists. Here’s one we have made for our family for 2014. Yes, we’re already a few months into 2014 but it’s been a pretty slow, cold winter. Hopefully making this list will inspire us to get moving now that spring has (barely) started showing itself!

I love reading about other people’s adventures, so when I had the chance to read A Million Steps by Kurt Koontz, I took it. In this novel, Koontz writes about his journey walking the historic Camino de Santiago trail in Spain.
