I accomplished 41 out of the 57 goals ... that's 71.9% of the list. Pretty good for not actually living in Seattle. Some of the things we meant to do while we were in Seattle during our last week - like brunch at Peso's and Green Lake, but they didn't work out for one reason or another. We also did a ton of things that weren't on the list - kayaking around Lake Union, eating at Salumi, going on the Savor Seattle Food Tour, etc. I think we did a pretty good job of exploring Seattle during our time there and I hope we go back after our tour in Japan so we can finish the list! And hopefully find a few more things to add to it :) Can you think of anything I should add to it?
Wow! You guys got a TON of things crossed off your list. Have you started a Bucket List for Japan?
