Every year my friend Joanne from Charliemoos, does a bucket list of days out with her children at new year.
I always say I am going to do it with mine, but have never got around to it until now.
It was quite amusing hearing them chat about where they want to visit. Sebastian tended to opt for places he already knows, whereas Isaac and Eliza have started to think out of the box and suggest new things to do and places to visit.
Sebastian (4):
Stay in the Legoland Hotel
See the dinosaurs at Paultons Park
Go to Marwell Zoo
Go to Butlins

Go to see Wicked
Have a mermaid swimming lesson
Visit Blackgang Chine

I am pretty sure this list will get larger as we get further into the year, but it is a good place to start and most are achievable, although where we are going to find snow for Sebby to go sledging, I am not so sure.
What places would you like to visit in 2018?
Wow some lovely ideas there from you all and some ideas I’m going to steal – some I’ve never heard of so shall start googling
This is such a lovely idea – looks like there is plenty on those lists to keep you busy this year! Have a great 2018 xx
this is a good idea with 6 kids from 3 to 17 I can’t wait to hear their ideas
I love how cute the kids’ bucket list items are compared to the adults’! Hope you tick all of these in 2018! x
I live 20 minutes from Blenheim Palace and can not recommend it enough, you should definitely visit. Impressive bucketlist, I am loving it
That is such a fab idea! I think we might also just borrow your friend’s idea of a bucket list for the year 🙂
I love this idea. You are going to have such a busy year! Scotland is amazing so I do hope you manage to get there this year. Have loved following your adventures, wishing you a fab 2018 xx
Ah yay I love that you love history as much as me and I am loving some of the places that you have on your bucket list. I would love to see Stonehenge and Blenheim palace. Dinosaurs at Paultons sounds like fun too!
What a lovely idea. We do a seasonal bucket list…I think I find it a little easier to focus on the short term still! Maybe this is an idea for the future
haha you are going to have a busy year. A beekeeper for a day, what a nice idea. I do notice with age, comes an increase in bucket item cost lol
Sounds like you’re going to have a jam-packed and fun year. Happy New Year!
I would love to visit New York this year.
You’ve a great family bucket list there and there’s a few I’d like to visit too such as Conway Castle and Stonehenge. Hopefully you manage most of it. Aside from our travels we’re hoping to explore more of Portugal such as visit Lisbon and Silves.
Finding snow to sledge on would be on all my kids list. Some great ideas in here and some very grown up ones from the kids too like Houses of Parliament and Imperial War Museum.
