A year ago, I created a DC bucket list for my fifth year here, as a I celebrated my fourth anniversary of moving to the city. Below is the original list with the items I’ve completed crossed off. So I still have the remaining items to check off, and I’ve also added a few more things I want to do as I embark on my sixth year in DC. Thanks to all who have joined me in my bucket list adventures (and sorry to those that I haven’t yet arranged something with!) – I’m now accepting rolling offers to complete the rest and ideas to add to it! This year I will be much more diligent; I learned my lesson from the 11 things by 11/11/11 journey. And check out my Top 11 of 2011 for a short recap of what happened in my fifth year.
Must Do for Year 5
- Go to the top of the Washington Monument
- Eat at Art & Soul

- Run the Capital Crescent trail
Do a night monument tour(technically complete as I did a night run around the Mall.)See a full show at the Kennedy Center (only saw a Millennium Stage show once)- See a play at the Shakespeare Theater (ahh- I came so close to this!)
- Eat at Ray’s Hell Burger
- Visit the botanical garden
- Visit all the museums that I’ve missed so far

In addition to the yet-to-do above, here are some new ones for the list for year 6:
