When we were little, we always had to write a list of fun summer things to do on our summer vacations, and more often than not, we'd successfully do most if not all of them.
The lists were realistic -- no one wrote "Disney World and Space Camp!", for example -- and filled our three months with day trips of ice cream, Maine, mini golf, and fun. Then we got older and summer jobs got in the way of lists.
This summer, my husband Ricky and I decided to make a summer list. We made a Christmas season list as well, but the summer list seemed more fun. Our lists are small, since we both have full time jobs, but still filled with fun weekends and excursions. They are:
Ricky's List:
1. Go to Newport, RI
2. Go to the bird sanctuary
3. Host a housewarming
4. Introduce people to the Salem Willows
My list:
1. Make ice cream
2. Ride bikes to Marblehead
3. Go the Kimball's and play mini golf
4. See Shakespeare in the Common
They may grow but for now these are good starts. I've already made a lot of ice cream, but my goal is to make a fun summer flavor. Kimball's is a childhood memory and treat, since my family grew up in Westford, but I want to go back again and enjoy it.
When we check anything off of our list, I'll report back.
