There are so many things on this list that I have never done and take for granted since I've lived here all my life. I have never been to NASA! Which is crazy to any tourist I talk to but normal to a lot of people who live here. And I love Buc-ee's. I wish they had dressing rooms, though. I found a shirt I wanted but I couldn't tell how it was going to fit so I didn't get it and I'm still thinking about it!
