Many of us live for summer as it’s a wonderful time of year in which children are out of school and many take most if not all of their vacation time. When we’re in the middle of winter it’s thoughts of summer days at the beach or pool which give us something to look forward too. Unfortunately it seems as you get older the summer season goes faster and faster which is what often happens with things you really set your sights on.
For that reason we really should try and maximize our enjoyment of these next couple of months and I’m reminded of a magazine article which listed some of the things we should try and do before Labor Day. These are not practical for everyone but then again….Esquire Magazine is not targeted for everyone either.
· Go bodysurfing in cold water.
· Discover the best burger in the area.
· Save room for desert.
· Join your fellow gluttons at a food festival.
· Eat cotton candy in a strong breeze.
· Walk a path in the woods that has no other footprints. (They don’t mention to look at for ticks but I will).
· See a drive-in movie. (That can’t be easy any longer although they
were a lot of fun when I was younger).
· Visit a completely useless roadside museum.
· Drink a cold beer behind the backstop after a softball game.
· Spend more than two hours of a single day in a hammock.
· On a perfect beach day start early with a cup of coffee as the sun
is still low on the horizon, have Surf Taco for lunch and don’t leave until after the lifeguards are done for the day and you’ve finished a great beach-read novel. (This was not in the magazine
but is my recommendation and one of my goals for this summer).
What would really be interesting is to try all of these in a single weekend.
Bottom line though is summer is a special time of year and we shouldn’t let it go by without having some fun.
