Shaun and Courtney’s Charlottesville Bucket List
When you realize you’re leaving a city you love in less than a year, desperate times call for desperate measures. The times are desperate because Shaun and I are creatures of habit to a fault, meaning we have not yet taken advantage of all Charlottesville, VA has to offer. Go ahead, ask me how many times we’ve been to Beer Run since last week.
To help with this, we have our very own “Bucket List” to be completed by August of 2012 – before the wedding! Check back to follow our progress and our comments on each adventure. If we’re missing anything – let us know.

I could write a nearly identical list! 🙂 Yay Cville!
It’s the best place to be! We also find our list keeps growing and growing… so much fun, so little time…
i love this! i am going make my own list!
Can’t wait to read it!
I absolutely love this list (especially the category specifically dedicated to drink)! I am gathering inspiration for a Charlottesville bucket list of my own and this has helped a ton. Good luck (and have fun) finishing off the rest of the items on your list!
Thanks! And oh god, there’s no shortage of things, including stuff off of this list! Welcome to C’Ville, by the way! If you have questions about aaannnnyyythinngg, just let me know. I’m in love with this town 🙂
