Ah summer. There’s always a ton that I want to do, and this year, I have more free time since I’m not assisting Doug with weddings anymore!

On the list are a few summer favorites and some things I cannot believe I haven’t done yet!

Here is my summer “bucket” list:

• Go to the drive-in movies
• Visit Brimfield
• Swim in Walden Pond
• See a concert
• Plant a garden (and keep it alive!)
• Read at least four books
• Go to the beach
• Spend the day at a pool
• Master one (just one!) song on the guitar
• Visit Lawn on D
• See the sand sculptures at Revere Beach
• See an outdoor movie in the city
• Host a “crafternoon” at my house
• Oysters!
• Try a new summer recipe
• Spend more time on the water (sailing, kayaking, swimming)

Full disclosure: I’ve had this list written down in a notebook for a while, and have already tackled a few items. BOOM. EFFICIENCY.

So, tell me: what’s on your summer list? Do you have any recommendations?
