I don't see anything wrong with a "bucket list" at any age. Our kids (all 5 of them)are middle-aged now and they tell us that we never wasted a dime or a minute taking them camping. They say that those experiences were the highlights of their childhoods. I was fortunate to be able to take six weeks off every summer, their Dad could take three. We hit the road and he flew out to join us at the mid-point. We tried for all of the National Parks in the contiguous USA, had theme trips (geology, aviation, forts ,etc.) depending on their interests. Everybody had input into where we went and what we did. We were always on the lookout for low-cost and/or free attractions and events. Go as far and as much as you can. You will never regret it. lizzie
