With summer just around the corner, I can’t help but feel the excitement building up. After an incredible winter getaway to Jamaica, I’m more than ready to dive into the sunny days ahead. The warm weather, family time, and outdoor adventures are what I live for, and I’m already planning for a summer packed with memories. Here’s a sneak peek at my summer bucket list for this year – let’s see if any of these activities might inspire your own list!
Spend Lazy Days by the Pool
One of the greatest joys of summer is the neighborhood pool. Growing up, I wasn’t really a pool person, but now, with kids, it’s become one of my favorite spots to unwind. I could spend hours watching my daughters splash around, giggling and making memories. Seeing their joy through their innocent eyes is such a gift, and I’m determined to soak up every moment. With my flexible work schedule, I’m thrilled at the thought of spending weekends by the water, playing with my family and making the most of every sunny afternoon.
Watch the Sunset Over the Pacific
Though we’ve traveled extensively in the past few years, I’ve yet to experience the Pacific Ocean firsthand. This summer, I’m finally crossing it off my list. Holly and I are planning a getaway to the West Coast, with a stay in Laguna Beach. I can’t wait to feel the cool waves of Southern California and catch a breathtaking sunset. There’s something magical about the Pacific coast that I’ve always wanted to experience, and now it’s finally happening. Holly’s got her own agenda, hoping to run into Lauren Conrad at Pinkberry, but I’m more into the idea of soaking up the view (and maybe a celebrity sighting too!).
Play in the World Series of Poker
In our house, card games are a big deal – from Crazy 8’s to Poker, we’re always up for a good game. While we love playing poker with the family, things get competitive when it comes to Texas Hold’em. I’ve spent years reading poker strategy books and perfecting my skills, though I’ve played less recently. This summer, I’m setting my sights on a dream – participating in the World Series of Poker. Though I’m not planning on entering any high-stakes tournaments, I’m hoping Holly will let me try a $50 buy-in tournament while we’re in Las Vegas. It might not be the big leagues, but it’s definitely on my list.
Take My Daughter Fishing
One of the most important items on my summer bucket list is to take my daughter fishing. She’s been asking to go for almost a year now, and I’m finally making it happen. While I’m sure the trip will last only a few minutes (she’s just turning six), I know she’ll have a blast. Plus, I’m hopeful we’ll catch something to make it extra exciting. We’ll be visiting Minnesota soon, and I know her grandparents will be just as eager to make sure this fishing adventure becomes a reality.
