Do you have a big life item on your bucket list that you haven't checked off yet? Something like a hot air balloon ride, or a drive in a racecar? Xperience Days is a website where you can purchase a unique experience. You could treat yourself; or it would make an amazing gift for someone special who has always longed to bungee jump, fly a helicopter, or have a relaxing spa day.
These are the experiences that bring memories that make you smile years later. Below is a picture of Paul and I on a Lewis and Clark rafting tour on the Niobrara River. It was more than 10 years ago (note that Paul still had hair), but I still recall a fascination at the history facts learned. What a fun, warm day it was on the river!
There are a wide variety of experiences available, and many are available for purchase for $100 or less. The site is easy to search - I looked at several cities within a two hour drive of us. I found a zipline canopy tour in Greensboro that I would love to do ($85). The winner can also use the $100 GC towards a more expensive experience - like a hot air balloon ride (I found one available about 2 hours from me in Charlottesville, for $250), to make the cost more affordable.
To enter, just click on the Rafflecopter giveaway below. Readers, what bucket list experience do you dream of doing someday?
Disclaimer: I have not purchased an experience from XperienceDays, but it looks like a wonderful website with many opportunities that I felt would be of interest to my readers. I was not compensated in any way for this post.

Mountain Lake has a beautiful new treetop zipline experience. You should check it out.
ReplyDeleteThe two of you look adorable as you do now....and how did you know I was just taking about zip lining over at UConn?? I had difficulty entering so I gave up...perhaps my connection?...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWow! Each of these sounds wonderful. I have done a zip line before. It would be lost of fun.
ReplyDeleteOh you are the most adorable couple looks like great memories. B
ReplyDeleteSweet photo!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about things on my bucket list, and zip lining is one of them. I would love to be able to give Larry a chance to fly a helicopter.
LOVE that photo, and that you & Paul had a great experience. :)

I want to sail the Caribbean. I have the experience and the license, but I'll never get to do it. My wife won't go. :-(
ReplyDeleteI've already flown helos and fixed wing, sailed all seven seas (courtesy of the U.S. Navy), seen a lot of the world. So I guess missing out on one thing won't be so terrible.
We tubed down the Niobrara and tanked down the Middle Loup. Fun fun things to do.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great giveaway Lisa -- I'd enter, but since I don't get off the farm much... have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe two of you are s cute!! I have never heard of this, but it is really cool! I wonder how word even gets around.
ReplyDeleteThe zipline sounds fun, I paid more than that for one in Costa Rica
ReplyDeleteNice Picture!
ReplyDeleteMy husband said he would do the stock car trip around the track 3 times in Detroit.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of you guys! And it feels like it's been 10 years since I've been here;)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to walk on the D-day beaches in Normandy! Some day!
(I'll write very soon with my craft show wisdom!)
I love ziplining. We have done it several times now and it's one of the most freeing experiences ever!

Rafting on the Nantahala River sounds fun! We don't go up to the mountains very often, so this would be a neat experience for my husband and me.
