My Summertime Bucket List: 25 Things I Plan To Do Before The Season’s Over

We’re almost a month into summer which got me thinking about what I’ve done so far this season…

But it also made me think about all the things I would still like to do but haven’t had the time. I decided to create a summertime bucket list in the hopes of being able to complete these 25 activities before September comes along and it’s all about pumpkin picking and caramel lattes.

1

Watch some favorite summertime movies like Now and Then, Summer of Sam, and Very Good Girls.

2

Go in the jacuzzi at night.

3

Spend a Sunday trying new food at Smorgasburg LA.

4

Attend an outdoor concert or music festival.

5

Spend a day at Paradise Cove or Zuma Beach.

6

Switch up my workout and go on a hike instead.

  6. Great post! Summer goes way too fast and you can easily miss opportunities to enjoy the season. I live in NY and summer always seems to be the shortest season of the year. Thanks for some great ideas to add to my own bucket list. I better get on it.
