Plus, it was a great excuse to get a new tattoo!
Alysons motto quickly became: We can sleep when were dead!

#4 Get Out of Town
Remember that 16-hour road trip I mentioned?

#5 Sleep Under the Stars
It turns out I am extreme-back-pain-after-sleeping-in-the-back-of-a-pickup-truck-years old.
Nothing like a night sleeping underneath some rural Pennsylvania stars.
Or…most of the night.

At daybreak we grabbed our dew-covered pillows and made a break for a real bed indoors.
Hooray for modern medicine!
#7 Get Over My Fear of Heights
With the highs (haha, get it?

), come some lows.
Could I have struggled through two hours of misery?
Did I want to?

It felt like a real win to know myself enough to not go through with it.
Heres an adorable picture of Alyson up in the trees with her mom.
#10 The List Complete
What an adventure we had.

A weeks worth of back pain.
