Halifax Bucket List 2013

On August 28th I am going on a very big adventure. I will be moving from Halifax on this cheery East Coast, to Victoria, in the exotic West. As excited as I am to be diving into intensive musical theatre training (yes, I am one of those types), I am also very sad to be leaving the community that has woven me into its loving arms over the past few years.

So! I've created this Halifax Bucket List to help me bid a proper fond "bye for now" to this city that I love so dearly. My intention is to get as many of these activities done as possible before the Great Departure. I am open to suggestions for things that should be added and I will mark which activities have been accomplished along the way.

THE LIST:

  1. Going to the Citadel (not just the hill, but the actual fort-ma-jig)
  2. Ride the Harbour Hopper (Ribbit! Ribbit!)
  3. Host a Banana Party (for my cat, Banana, when he turns 5)
  4. Buy Groceries at the Seaport Farmer's Market (instead of just wandering around aimlessly)
  5. Take a Workshop (for acting, dance, song, puppetry, anything!)  
  6. Book an Acting Gig (this one may be trixxy, but not impossible so it stays)
  7. Picnic in Point Pleasant Park (with smuggled wine if possible... and sunhats)
  8. Attend a Show by Shakespeare By The Sea (I've foolishly never seen one yet)
  9. Eat a Lobster.
  10. Beach Day at Chocolate Lake
  11. Teach Campers How To "Prancercise"
  12. Go to Noble (Sorry, no link. It's a secret)
  13. Get a Chocolate from Brussels Restaurant & Brasserie
  14. Get My Picture Taken with Theodore Tugboat
  15. Run Across the MacDonald Bridge and Back Without Stopping
  16. Host a Potluck
  17. Ride the Ferry for Fun (up top, of course)
  18. Make Salt Water Taffy (and eat it, obvi.)
  19. Buy a bag of Anchored Coffee
  20. Blow Bubbles in the Public Gardens
  21. Find Loving Homes for my Cats
  22. Go Whale Watching (and see a whale, ideally)
  23. Go to Showtunez at Menz Bar
  24. Visit Peggy's Cove
  25. Drink Local Wine
