What are you doing this summer for fun?

[scottyderp]

I am looking for ideas...

[nahoku]

Moving? Okay, that isn't really fun until we're settled.

Two concerts (Avett brothers/Brandi Carlile and the Dixie chicks), Twins game, cabin, two weddings, several camping trips - 3 state parks (one during the Tall Ships Festival on Lake Superior) and one cramped park that is mostly semi-permanent trailers and has a water park.

[pagas]

* long weekend in San Antonio to eat lots of good TexMex and suffer through a day at Six Flags
* lots of swimming at my parents' pool
* possibly a weekend to Chicago
* attending plenty of Astros games
* week to Banff with my parents and Finley, DH will join us for the weekend
* huge ass trip to Fiji and New Zealand
* take Finley to the ballet

The pool on weekends. I feel there is no difference between winter and summer in adulting.

I wish I could pick up an adult spanish class. I took French in high school and I have regrets.

[winelady]

Oh, the zoo as well

[1confused1]

I always take my kids to the same place on vacation every year, the first 2 weeks of August.

Other than that, we belong to a community pool so we spend whatever free time we have there.

The kids daycare has fun activities and field trips.

Fwiw, I am a single mom that works full time so I don't really get a summer.

[mrsukyankee]

Two weeks at the Jersey shore (with family)
Going to the races (Ascot)
Going to an oyster festival
Taking my H to learn how to scuba dive in Cornwall (and do a few exercises myself as I haven't dove in ages)
Going out to the countryside with/without our dog, going for a morning wander/hike and then eating lunch at pubs (we'll do that almost every free weekend)

And the not as fun: working with our builder on the huge renovation project which is starting a month later than expected

[stealthmom]

Another one moving
Two weeks on the jersey Shore
Job searching while my husband takes my kids to visit the ILs.
Visiting my best friend and her needs baby.

[ZoeHart]

Two concerts
Calling in sick to work on the one day of sun we get in Ohio

Not much really. We are pretty low key in the summer but I like it that way. I'd rather enjoy the pool and weekends at home and travel more in the fall and winter when the weather is crappy here.

[Jalapeñomel]

Spain for three weeks and the Illinois State Fair (lol)

[noodle]

Having a baby.

Before that, getting ready for said baby, and as many activities that include air conditioning or the pool as possible.

[carrotsmakemefat]

Sex, drugs and rock and roll

[RoxMonster]

-Getaway to Door County, WI to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary
-Lots of concerts downtown in our city on the riverfront
-Baseball games (OK, drinking at the baseball stadium lol)
-Hiking a lot
-Attending some festivals in town
-Farmers markets
-A Zero K (a fundraiser/party with live music and alcohol where you walk across a bridge as the "race")

ETA: Finally seeing Book of Mormon!!!!

[Deleted]

I plan on hitting the beach every Friday it is possible.

[cinderbella]

H and I both work full time so........you know.

But we are taking the girls on an all-American vacation to the Grand fucking Canyon! Spending some time in Sedona with my best old lady friend, too.

H and I are going to Chicago in August to see Billy Joel at Wrigley Field. yesssssssss.

We're debating getting season passes to Valleyfair (big amusement park here) - the girls are at a fun age for that stuff and they also have a huge waterpark that we'd utilize a lot.

And other than that, just trying to keep my kids from murdering each other and having their face in their Kindles for 22.5 hours a day. They're doing the YMCA day cam which will keep them super busy during the week and I don't work Mondays so we'll hit up the zoo/splash bad/amusement park on those days.

[thebreakfastclub]

Possibly job hunting and moving to a new city, possibly not. I'll know for sure in a few weeks.

We have season passes to a kid's amusement park, we'll go to the pool a lot, a couple of baseball games.

Nothing else is planned until the work thing resolves itself.

DH and I hope to visit Montreal kid-free in early fall.

[lovelovelove]

Our weekdays won't change bc of work, except maybe a random day off here and there.

We've declared this The Summer Of Outdoor Projects. Waiting for the weather to cooperate so we can build a little stone wall around the patio, redo the front walk, replant everything in front of the house, have some sick trees down, etc. I can't wait to actually enjoy my yard.

Other than that I'd like to get to the zoo, into the city, beaches, cookouts, hopefully some low key concerts, and just stay close to home relaxing.

The weather has been awful in MA.

[candreco]

- Joined a swim club for the summer so lots of evenings there with picnic dinners after we pick kids up
- Local minor league baseball games, and probably a couple of major league games
- Beer tasting in George Washington's backyard, and hanging out in the taproom at our favorite local brewery
- Trip to Florida to see DH's parents, taking the autotrain down, going to Kennedy Space Center, and stopping in Savannah on the way home
- A couple of concerts DH and I are looking at, depending on dates
- I'll likely have a really fun work event in San Diego in August, and I'm leaning toward taking DD with me for it

Ha ha. The fair was on my list every year of my childhood. I could still go for a lemon shakeup and fried pork sandwich.

[notoriousmeg]

Lots of weekends and a week in August at my parents' house on the Jersey shore.
Girls weekend for 2 of my girlfriends' 40ty birthdays
Possible trip to Hershey Park. I think DS is old/big enough to enjoy. Summer is my busy season at work

[Deleted]

[Deleted]

But there will also be a lot of this

[Deleted]

OOOH.


This summer I also turn 30! So lots of fun surrounding that.


My mom and I are also going to go see the goo-goo dolls and collective soul in August. I can't wait!
