The One About Vacations, Staycations and Summer time lists.

I was scrolling through a few of the blogs that I follow this morning and one post caught my eye, intrigued me and made me think a little.  Patty, over at Lather, Rinse, Clean had a post about her summer bucket list, and all the things she wanted to see, do and accomplish before fall sets in.  I thought it was an awesome idea, and a bit of a challenge to set those goals for yourself and strive to make them happen.

My actual bucket list can be found on Pinterest.  It has everything from exotic places I want to go see to some just off the wall crazy things I want to do.  You know, like hand some random person a briefcase and tell them quietly, 'you know what to do', before I smile and walk away.

This summer though, I have so many things on my list of to dos, that it's almost laughable.  I am however great with check lists, so maybe I'll get more done if I write them down and I can just check them off as they happen.

• Start on the reclaim the yard from missile range project.  (check back Thursday for plans and other details)
• Have a BBQ on the veranda for the 4th.  Entertain more in general.  I miss having people over.
• Go fossil hunting.
• Visit Kings Dominion.
• Get the Minions to various Birthday Parties and other fun things they get invited to.
• Spend an evening catching fireflies with my boys.
• Have an evening picnic and watch the sunset with some wine.
• Enjoy a winery tour, or three.
• More kayaking!

• 

  From the King's birthday trip

• Get out the supersoakers on a hot day and chase the minions around while drenching them from head to toe.
• Spend a few evenings stargazing from the hot tub, with faux mojitos and margaritas in hand.
• Finish the family room.
• Tour Boldt Castle.
• Enjoy the convertible on sunny days.
• Go on an adult vacation.
• Finish stripping and repainting the ugly furniture I've been working on.
• Spend an evening at the drive-ins watching movies in the open air.
• Go to the lake a few more times.
• End the summer with a day trip to the York Fair.

What's on your list for the summer?
