“it’s a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip of wine … it’s summertime!”
― Kenny Chesney
Summertime is the time to be carefree and spontneous (something with the help of Handsome, I have gotten much better at). So this years Summer 2016 ~ Adventure List is going to be full of things that are in and out of my comfort zone along with some “to do” items I’ve been wanting to try.
- Throw a dart on a local map and go to where ever it lands for the weekend.
- Go fishing.
- Make a different flavor of homemade ice cream, every week.
- Go Geochaching Who’s in to go with Handsome and me?
- Play flashlight tag.
- Play chess at the ocean.
- Watch the sunrise at the beach and the sunset in the mountains on the same day.
- Take the 48 Hour Film Project.
- Watch movies in my backyard on a big screen.
- Make Sun Tea.
- Go olive oil tasting.
- Visit a different Farmers Market every week.
- Spend a whole Sunday in my pajamas watching old movies.
- Attend at least 3 outdoor concerts.
- Take a Instagram picture everyday.
- Send a message in a bottle.
- Host a Olympic watching party.
- Start a podcast.

- Enjoy every moment!

I like your list and just may make it my summer list too! We can do a few of those together!
Its All About The Pretty
I would love too! Are you and P up for a concert in the park or maybe Geochacing?
Ellen Dolgen
I have done many of these on your list. Of course, for the exception of making your father’s fav lemonade recipe! There are a few others that I may try as well. They sound so fun!

What a great list and not the usual summer activities. I like the throwing a dart on a map idea. Might try that one. It is just a matter of doing something isn’t it. Life doesn’t have to be boring.

Make making sun tea is THE only way I know how to make (iced) tea at all–I can remember seeing the jars when I was a little girl and there are pics of my mom as a girl with the sun tea jars behind her on the fence posts! You just made me remember…how funny is that ; )

Darya, I love making Sun Tea! I’m suprised how many friends of mine who don’t know what Sun Tea is. The pictures of your mom must be adorable.
Lois Alter Mark
Ooh, so many fun ideas here. I hope you get to do them all!
Its All About The Pretty
Thanks, Louise.
Leanne
what a fantastic list – we’re coming into Winter in Australia so I will hold a picture in my mind of you doing all those lovely Summery things to warm the cockles of my heart 🙂
Its All About The Pretty
Thank you, Leanne. I hope you find wonderful Winter Adventures and it’s not too cold!

I need to take an Instagram picture every day also but right now it seems to be once a week.I’d love to take a long train ride next to the ocean.
Its All About The Pretty
A train ride along the coast sounds lovely. I will definately be adding that one to my list. Thank you.
Estelle
Ooh. I love this list. I especially like the romance of playing chess by the ocean.
Its All About The Pretty
I happend upon that chess board in Laguna Beach. It is a very romantic spot.
Tiffany Bacon
This is a great list. You reminded me that I was supposed to create my own summer wish list. Okay, here it goes:
1. Go to the beach at least once
2. Have at least once summer game night
3. Go to Great Adventures before Labor Day
4. Attend 1 outdoor festival in NYC
5. See at least 1 Broadway show
6. Participate in one activity I’ve never attempted before
7. Grill something for the first time.
Have a great summer!
Its All About The Pretty
Great list, Tiffany! Once you start grilling you won’t want to stop, there is something about the delicious grilled flavor and clean up is easier. Happy Summer!

What a fun summer list! It sounds like a great summer ahead for you! I love that you plan to send a message in a bottle – love things like that 🙂 And if you go on an eating tour of LA please post pics! Can’t wait to see that!

I would love everything on this list. I plan on a few.
Christie
I actually just created my own bucket list – what a coincidence. 😉
I wish so badly that it was Summer here in Australia rather than gross Winter. 🙁 I’d definitely be doing these too!
