Unless you live in Bloomington, IN where it snows one day and two days later it's 70 and sunny, summer is right around the corner.
Ah yes. The pools are opening and people are pulling out their shorts and tank tops.
Summer is more than just warm weather though. It's travelling, fun with friends, driving with the windows down and making long-lasting memories. Part of that is a strong bucket list. Sitting at home and making last minute plans to hang with friends can be fine, but making a list of things to do when hanging around your house just isn't enough is always a plus. Trust me you'll thank me later.
Here are the top five most important things to include on a solid bucket list.
1. The vacation.
Everyone loves a good road trip. Gather up your best friends and get in the car! If you're from Indy some great places to visit are
Turkey Run: a huge state park full of lots of fun trails and a few good places to eat.
Holiday World: An amusement park with roller coasters and water rides for when it's extra steamy outside.
Indiana Dunes: If you need a beach, but don't want to drive very far the dunes are for you!
2. Boating
What better way to spend a day than on a boat with your best friends? This one is great for the really hot days when you know the water is going to be warm. Make sure to bring lots of cold drinks and snacks!
3. Cliff diving
Another really great one for the really hot days. Make a day out of it. A nice place for this is White Rock Park. They have sectioned off so many places and heights to jump from. You could easily spend your whole day here. Perfect place for a picnic too.
4. Have a girls night
There is nothing better than grabbing a nice dinner with your girl pals to catch up. Make reservations or go get McDonald's and eat it wherever. You do you, girl.
5. The farmers market
YES! Get up early with your friends and ride your bike to your local farmers market. Homemade waffles, donuts, and fresh fruits and veggies are where it is at! This is an awesome way to start your day and makes for such a fun morning.
Whatever you decide to do this summer, have fun and live it up. We all know just how fast it goes by.
