- Take a vacation. My summer is riddled with vacations and mini-vacations. I am marking the first day of the summer season with a trip to Florida with my significant other. I don't care if the vacation is in Mexico, in your backyard, or downtown to the local market. Just get out relax and have fun.
- Get on the grill. Nothing says summer like a good old fashioned cook out. Even if there are only 4 people in attendance. Break out the charcoal and fire that grill up. Oh and send me an invitation.
- Read a book or two. Just as I posted in my Poolside Classic Reading post I plan on getting a lot of reading in. It helps me to relax. Anything from thrillers to children's books to romance novels is good in my eyes.
- Try a new look. I plan to incorporate bright colors and plenty of shorts. If you know me then you know that this is completely out of my comfort zone. Wear what you want and be confident doing it.
- Protect yourself. If I have to say it in every post I promise I will. Please pretty please wear sunscreen. I don't care what color you are, what ethnicity you are, or what you may be accustomed to doing you need to wear sunscreen.
- Shop the farmers market. Yep it is probably one of my favorite places outside of the beach. Fresh produce, busy setting, and some of the best desserts ever. Plus you're supporting local farmers.
- Take a class. A ballet class, an art class, or maybe even a swimming lesson. Keep your mind busy.
- Spend time with others. Nope not just a message on Facebook, I mean genuine face to face interaction. It is amazing how technology has linked us to places that we could only dream of but has made us so distant in regards people that live 5 minutes away. A text will not suffice, lets take some time to get to know one another.
I'll keep everyone updated on my adventures and I hope everyone has a great summer or at least great plans. What are some of the things you all are doing this summer? Drop me a line I would love to know.
