The Ultimate Summertime Bucket List

Ultimate Summertime Bucket List
  1. Dine al fresco.
  2. Watch a sunset.
  3. Catch the Perseid meteor showers.
  4. Go to a drive-in or outdoor movie event.
  5. Enjoy a fluffy summer novel without guilt – required office reading and great literature can wait!
  6. Attend an outdoor festival or event. Whether a concert, Shakespeare in the Park, farmer’s market, an upscale flea or a food/wine event, there is sure to be something local that will suit your tastes.
  7. Devote a day to the pool or the beach – no phones invited!
  8. Have night-time fun with a glow in the dark hoola hoop contest, frisbee  or lawn dart game
  9. Get out on the water: on a boat, canoe, kayak, paddleboard or tubing.  If you’ve got absolutely NO water anywhere near you, make a home made slip’n slide with some plastic tarp and a hose or sprinkler.
  10. Take a road trip – near or far.
  11. Grow a salsa garden or cutting garden of wildflowers.
  12. Make homemade ice cream, either with a fancy-schmancy ice cream maker or using this old-timey method
  13. Go on a hike or bike ride, packing a picnic along to enjoy at one of the scenic stops.
  14. Rent a convertible for the day and enjoy the wind in your hair.
  15. Indulge in favorite summertime treats (cherries, peaches, sangria, rosé, champagne pops, iced coffee, s’mores)
Fortnum & Mason champagne pops

  1. I plan on creating my Summer Bucket list this week. My family tends to get really busy and we don’t make time to do the fun things. I will have it on the fridge where we all can see it.

  2. Wow! those are great list. I never been to a movie drive in, but always wanted to go. I know recently here in my town this apartment complex was having a pool party movie night. It looked so luxurious and fun from the events page. Also i love watching the night sky and wished of could have seen the meteor shower. There are many things I wish to do when I’m able to. Thanks for sharing and joining the linkup. 🙂

    1. August is a great meteor shower month, I think usually around the 11-14th. Hope you will see them and can wish on a shooting star! Thanks for hosting the link- up!
