Top 5 Summer Fun Things

I saw this on Gwen’s blog and though I would play along. Here goes:

1. The pool

If you have been reading my weekend recaps, you know that I can be found here at least one day out of every weekend. It really is my little oasis where I can unwind from a long week and relax. We’re friendly with a lot of the other members and even play volleyball every Tuesday night during the summer.

2. BBQ’s

We love having people over for fun cookouts during the summer months. It can be something planned or something we throw together at the last minute. The important thing is that it’s always a good time.

3. Flip flops

One of the best feelings is when it finally gets warm enough to break out the flip flops and sandals. I live in both during the summer.


4. Amusement/Water Parks

I thoroughly enjoy going to Six Flags when it gets nice out. Bring on the rollercoaster’s and waterslides. I have my dad to thank for being such a daredevil. He used to practically force me on scary rides as a child and I love them now.

5. The beach

I’m lucky that I live close to several beaches. Each summer we try to do at least a weekend away. My beach of choice is North Wildwood, NJ. They have a little of everything - the beach, the boardwalk, bars and amusement parks. I’ve been going there ever since I was little.

What are some of your summer favorites?

I love the BBQ and flip flops too, plus my family has a lot of birthdays in the summer so I get to see my family and have cake & ice cream! :-)

We used to visit Wildwood Crest every summer when I was a kid! I loved it!

Gwen said...

Oh I wish I lived close enough to a beach to go often. I'd have to drive a day at least. BUMMER but I definitely agree with the flip flops!!! YAY for SUMMER!!! XOXO

mmm everything looks perfect! I relate summers with sparkling lemonade, reading Vogue on the beach and Road trips to Napa or L.A.

I love your list! Some of my favorite summer things are going to an ice cold theater on a really hot day to see a movie, swimming at night, not having to dry my hair (this is mostly because I'm too lazy to dry it), wearing shorts, getting tan...

Have a great weekend friend!!!!

beach & flip flops for sure! Oh & MacDonald's 69 cents cones. I know you can get them year round but I just love getting them on hot summer days!

Lis said...

Yes, yes, yes, YES and YES!!

Ohhkay so another reason we are twins is #4! My dad was the same way...and one of the things he told me is that when I grew up my boyfriends/husband would want to ride them and isn't this ironic - J.D. gets EXTREMELY motion sick and will not ride coasters.

Last summer at WDW I rode with a 5 year old kid who called J.D. a chicken...it was priceless! :)

Jill said...

Love your summer list. One of my favorite things is wearing sundresses!

My family used to vacation in Wildwood. Such great memories! Watch the tram car please.

I absolutely love all these things (minus Wildwood, I'm an Ocean City gal at heart). LOVE summer!

I totally agree with your list! The flip flops started in March for me! I live in them! That's awesome that you live so close to the beach!
