Summer is almost here! It is my favorite season of the year. I love being able to wear cooler clothing and enjoying summer days and evenings. I love warm days by the water, picnics, barbeques and just relaxing.
Of course I am a planner so I have to have a summer bucket list. Here is mine:
- Go to a County Fair
- Visit Northern California
- Visit the Beach
- Go Wine Tasting
- Visit the Getty Museum
- Visit 5 new restaurants
- Read two books (anyone have suggestions?)
- Clean my closet
- Experiment with my new camera (my early birthday present)
- Have a Sangria Party
- Take my kids clothes shopping
- Take my mom to tea
- Remind my blog readers that Google Reader is going away (this is the reminder to please follow via email or Bloglovin’ so you do not miss a post) 🙂
What is on your bucket list this summer?
Danielle Hart says
Great list! I love summer, too. Book suggestion: Wild by Cheryl Strayed (I just finished it and highly recommend it. Raw, honest, inspirational.) Northern California / Wine Tasting suggestion: Russian River (a little off the beaten track, great Pinots and Zins, fun little towns and beautiful country). “Clean my closet” always seems to be on my list. Why is that?
Organizedisland says
Thanks for the suggestions! We are hoping to get to the Russian River area. I just love NoCal . You and me both on the closet stuff 🙂

Lol… I was talking about summer bucket lists yesterday 😉 I’ve started to jot down a few things… my list is always too big 😉
Hmm, I think you need a wine tasting buddy in crime.. seriously, lets pick a day and head north 😉
Organizedisland says
Seriously! Let’s start that bucket list together Jamie! 🙂

I don’t ever make a summer list, so my summer disappears just like the rest of my year. I think I’m going to make it a point to do something different this summer. Thank you for the inspiration.
Organizedisland says
I would love to hear what you do Sonia. I am a list maker so I always have one going. Hope that your summer is off to a good start!

Great summer list. I’m a list person too! I noticed someone recommended Wild. I thought it was a great book too. One of my all time favorite books is The Glass Castle. It’s a quick and easy read. I’ve been to Northern California a few times and love it. Muir Woods is beautiful and not to far from Napa Valley. Have fun checking off your to do list this summer!
Organizedisland says
Oh I love the Glass Castle. Thanks for the recommendation on Wild. I had not heard of it. Thanks for stopping by!

I should make a summer list… I’ve got a ton of book recos but it depends on what you like to read. I’ve just posted my Top 10 of the year thus far, but they’re mostly paranormal or urban fantasy. http://www.goodreads.com/thechrislam
PS – good luck with “clean out the closet.” I think I’ve been trying to clean out my closet for, oh, 10 years…
Organizedisland says
Oh I am going to check out your book list. It takes me a long time to read. Yes, the closet is neverending isn’t it?
