Summer Bucket List

Even though the official start to summer isn't for a couple more weeks, once MDW and the start of June hit, that pretty much does it for me.  I always love picking out a few fun things to do at the start of a month or season but summer always has the most to offer and I'm quite looking forward to the next three months. {last year's list - here and how I did on it - here}

Travels

• Take our annual trip to California 
• Adventure somewhere new
• Weekends at the lake - it's sadly the last year of our lease so we have a couple big weekend gatherings planned up there as well as a few smaller ones

Special Events

• Celebrate our anniversary somewhere special - it will be two years come the end of the summer
• Have a Christmas in July gathering 
• Do something fun for our half birthdays (I've always wanted to!) - Derek's was a few weeks ago and mine is in a few weeks

Around the House

• Landscape around our front walkway
• Grow one item - last year I did zucchini, cherry tomatoes and mint which took up too much space on our deck so this year I'll keep it to just one
• Finish off our lower deck area and add rocking chairs & such 

Locally

• Attend a local polo match
• Go on a picnic
• Ice Cream Night(s) - we never go "just because"!

In the City

• Spirit of Philadelphia - a boat cruise around the city 
• Baseball games - go Phillies! We've actually got one tonight... 
• Enjoy a rooftop & somewhere new 

Just for Fun

• Enjoy a nice BBQ at home for just the two of us
• Play some golf - either on the course with Derek (no more than 9 holes this year!) or the driving range
• Go wine tasting - somewhere new

And of course the usuals... Pool days, happy hours, dining al fresco, host grill nights.  I'd also love to have a few nights with no plans to do some nice things on a whim.

The next three months will fly by, I'm sure - hoping for a great season!
