Bucket List Part 3

41. Go on a Rhine River Cruise

Unlike today's river cruises, this one required us to take a train to Koblenz and then get on a boat to "cruise" the river---so many castles and the Lorelei Rock

 #42 Ski in Colorado
This is Keystone 1988.

#43 Visit Disney World

We had visited Disneyland several times but went to Disney World in 1987 with Tom, Donna, Dale, Meredith and Glen.  Yes, Rebecca, it is exhausting!

 #44. Visit San Francisco and Monterrey Bay

We first visited in 1971 when we took Dave's parents car out there.  We re-visited in 1985 when I won 2 tickets on TWA.  We visited the wine country most of the time.

 #46 Visit Bath, England
June 1985.  We have also visited Baden-Baden Germany an equally beautiful "Roman bath" city.

 #45 Fly in an airplane
My first flight was going to Germany in 1966.  The photos below had our son-in-law Kyle as the pilot out of Spirit of St. Louis.  The only passengers were Rachel, Dave and I. We were able to fly over Lake Sherwood where my parents lived. Dec. 2000.

 #47 Get a mink coat/jacket
Daughter Rebecca helped her dad pick it out.  Think she enjoyed that?

 #48 Go on the Brussel's Ferry and eat at the hotel on the Mississippi River
Our first anniversary June 12, 1972

 #49 Go to the summit of a mountain
This was Nebelhorn in 1967.  We went up in a cable car.  My friends skied down, I took the cable car back down.  There was a restaurant and a bar made of snow---see slides for this.

We took the girls in 1956.  We have a better photos somewhere with all of us in slickers going under the Falls.
