I can’t believe we’re already into what feels like halfway through summer. Though I must admit that summer is not my favorite season, I want to make the most of it. I mean, there must be a reason why so many people love it right? Well this year, I want to find out why it’s so loved and do all the summery things. For today’s blog post I want to make a bucket list of all the things I want to do this summer. Let’s get started!
Go on different hikes – One of my favorite hobbies is hiking but I must admit that I don’t do it as often as I’d like. This summer I want to ensure that I go on different hikes all around where I live. One of my favorite parts about hiking is the views as well as the smell of nature.
Go to the beach- I feel like this one is synonymous with summer and being that I live in Southern California, I have to admit, that I don’t go to the beach as much as I’d like. This year, I want to also visit the different beaches near where I live. I’m going to make this goal specific and say that I want to visit at least 5 beaches this summer.
Visit Catalina island- I have been wanting to visit Catalina Island for some time now so I thought this would be a perfect day trip for me to get to know a place that is not too far from where I live. I’m excited about this one.
Read– Recently I’ve been getting back into reading more and I’ve thoroughly been enjoying it. So far, I have read 2 books this year. One of them being “It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover (100% recommend) and currently I’m reading “Ugly Love” by Colleen Hoover and I’m really enjoying it. So, by the end of this summer, I’d like to have read at least 5 books.
Ride my bike more- One of the good things that came with quarantine was the fact that I finally dusted off my bike and started riding it around the neighboorhood and I can’t even explain how such a small activity makes me so happy. So, this summer I want to try and find new routes to take with my bike (when the weather is not super hot lol) plus, I want to also ride my bike at the beach.
Have a picnic at the park- I always see how fun of an activity this is and I’m so excited to add it to my list. I have a few friends who are coming into town as well as a few local friends who have a “summer schedule” so we’re definitely adding this to the list, and hopefully getting some cute pics to remember it in the future.
Play pickle Ball– This was another things I kept seeing a lot (especially during quarantine in 2020) and yes, I bought myself a pickle ball set of my own and realized there is actually an open court near my house so, I’ll have to hit that up this summer as well.
Go to the movies– It’s been ages since I’ve been to the movies and I feel like recently there have been quite a few interesting ones in theaters so I’m adding this to the list because who doesn’t love to go to an air conditioned room in the summer ha ha.
To keep me accountable I’m going to end the list here and I will report back once summer is over on what I accomplished (which I hope is everything 😂).
