Summer Bucket List

Vacationing last summer in California

Family Fun:
Ice cream night, Visit animals on the farm & go strawberry picking, family walks, grilling out & deck nights, go to a concert in the park

This summer will be even more fun having Tatum here with us - I'm looking forward to some of these kid friendly activities and nights out as a family.

Eats:
Go on a picnic, barbecuing, date nights al fresco, have a shrimp broil, take dinner to the pool

Isn't food just better in the summer?  We love barbecuing on the deck, eating outside anytime we can, trying to do at least one shrimp broil a summer.  This year with Tatum I'd love to also go on a picnic and take dinner to the pool a few nights.

Travels:
Weekends at the lake, annual California trip, anniversary trip, weekends down the shore

We are heading into lake season and look forward to many weekends up there as well as a couple down the shore.   Our annual summer trip to California is fastly approaching and at the end of the summer we'll celebrate four years of marriage with a quick parents only trip.

Days with Tatum:
Go to the playground, playdates with friends, lots of pool days (and nights), playing on the deck with the sand box and water table, visit the zoo 

While he keeps me busy, summer days are fun with Tatum - there is so much more to do when we can be outside.  Currently playing with all his toys on the deck is a favorite but we're looking forward to all the activities in the next few months.

Around the House & Other:
Grow a garden, keep up with our flowers, watch a sunset, golf with Derek, go to a baseball game

Last year with the move and being pregnant we didn't really keep up with our flowers well or even try to grow a garden.  I'd love to check off some simple summer stuff too.

  7. Cuisine takes on a new dimension when you travel. Each region boasts its own culinary artistry, and tasting local dishes is like sampling the culture's soul. The sizzle of street food stalls in Bangkok, the aroma of fresh baguettes in a Parisian bakery, or the spices that dance in Indian curries—all of these experiences awaken your taste buds and offer a glimpse into the heart of a place. Food becomes a language, and every meal is a story waiting to be savored.keta

  8. In essence, travel is a celebration of the human spirit's inherent curiosity and a testament to the boundless wonders that await those willing to embark on the journey. It is a symphony of sights, sounds, and sensations that orchestrate a harmonious melody of exploration. As we traverse the globe, we become not just witnesses but active participants in the grand narrative of existence, leaving footprints that echo through the corridors of time. Travel, with its myriad facets, beckons us to venture into the unknown, to embrace the unfamiliar, and to savor the richness of the world's kaleidoscope. It is a perpetual invitation to expand our horizons, both outwardly into the vast landscapes that stretch before us and inwardly into the depths of our own souls.tours in Siem Reap

  9. In the realm of travel, time adopts a different rhythm, and moments unfold like chapters in a captivating novel. The traveler becomes a storyteller, collecting memories like precious souvenirs. The taste of unfamiliar cuisines, the resonance of foreign languages, and the vibrant hues of distant markets create a sensory symphony that lingers in the traveler's mind long after the return home. Traveling is not just a physical movement; it is a mental and emotional odyssey, an exploration of self as much as of the world. It fosters adaptability, resilience, and a profound appreciation for the tapestry of humanity.schiphol vertrektijden
