Today is my kid’s last day of school and I am looking forward to a great summer with them.  Every year, we make a list of the activities we want to accomplish in the summer. That way when we can’t think of something off the top of our head, we look on our list and find something that we can do as a family.  I am really looking forward to sleeping in and just being able to do things without having a set schedule.  I love being with my kids and here is a list of a couple things we want to do this summer.

Summer Bucket List

1. Celebrate 20th wedding anniversary

2. Try 5 new restaurants

3. Paddle board in OBX

4. Visit my niece and nephew in Raleigh

5. Teach my daughter to drive on the interstate (she has her driver’s permit)

6. Workout 5 days a week with the kids

7. play tennis with the kids and my mom

8.  Go to the beach couple times a month

9. Get season passes to Busch Gardens

10. Go to Abingdon and visit my in-laws

11. Do 2 makeover projects

12. Go shopping at the outlet malls

13. Go Kayaking

14. Go to Hilton Head and celebrate my in-laws 50th anniversary (Hip Hip Hooray)

15. Start looking at colleges with my daughter

There are several other traditions we do to kick off the summer, but one of our favorites is making our bucket list.  I hope my list has given you a couple ideas to create your own list.  This summer will be about spending quality time with my kids and building lasting relationships with our extended family.  Life is too short to not live it to the fullest.  My daughter will be heading off to college soon and I really want to make some awesome memories this summer!

Yours Truly,

Jenn
