Summer always seems to fly by and come September, I’m left wondering how I managed to squander the nicest months of the year. No more! Here’s our 2015 list of summer must-dos:
- Visit two new cities. (Cincinnati is already on the books for this weekend.)
- Play hooky for an entire midweek day to lounge at the pool…
- …and leave work a few hours early at least once a month in favor of pool time.
- Spend a day at the waterpark.
- Go to to a drive-in theater.
- Bike to a brewery or bar. (This one is going to take some practice. I haven’t been on a bike more than once in the last two years! I’d actually like to get in the habit of going on weekly bike rides with Dave after work.)
- Enjoy an evening at the Memorial Union Terrace.
- Watch the fireworks.
- Try five new-to-us restaurants and/or bars.
- Plan (and hopefully book) another trip to Europe. (This isn’t summer-specific, but I’d like to reserve something since the exchange rate is so low.)
- Head to a beer fest.
- Play mini golf.
- Spend a weekend in Milwaukee.
- Go to a baseball game.
- Plant an herb garden on our balcony (or, at the very least, something green).
- Eat cotton candy.
- Buy fresh produce at the farmers’ market at least once a month.
- Ride on a Ferris wheel.
- Visit my parents in northern Wisconsin.
