I can’t believe the “official” end of Summer is in ten days. It will remain hot summer temperatures here in North Carolina through October, only with a few cooler days sprinkled in. I always think that Summer goes by too quickly and I simply can not believe we are approaching Fall. I love Fall in North Carolina, jean skirts + fluffy, cozy sweaters sipping on a hot coffee, being able to do a full work out without dying from the heat! Are you a Fall or Summer person?
I have rounded up 15 things to do before Summer ends, an inspirational list of ideas to make the most of these last two weeks!
1.) Go to your favorite rooftop bar or restaurant
2.) Plan a pool day with friends
3.) Plan a cook out & do something active: play kickball, tag football, something out of the ordinary
4.) Try a new Summer cocktail at home with your husband / partner / best friend (Pat and I are actually doing this, this weekend!)
5.) Plan a fun outdoor activity like river tubing (We are going river tubing soon over Labor Day!)
6.) Have a picnic at sunset
7.) Do a DIY project outdoors (this has been our summer!)
8.) Hit up the farmer’s market
9.) Have a water gun fight (for old times sakes!)
10.) Go to a Drive In Movie
11.) Go Golfing (Fun fact, I golfed in high school and Pat is a golfer too. We love golfing together but tend to go more in Fall / Spring when it’s cooler)
12.) Take a road trip where everyone in the car takes turn choosing which direction to drive! After a set amount of time, see where you end up!
13.) “Unplug” for a day-Turn the phone off and leave it at home. If you’re a mom, maybe set your emergency contacts to come through & silence your phone. Those emails, text messages they will be there for you later but enjoy the day!
14.) Get to the Beach one last time. I know this can be a stretch for some of you, it’s not a hop and a skip away. We are headed to the beach one last time but it’s only a four hour drive. Pat and I grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, the beach was a good 8.5 hours away, I get this one isn’t for everyone!
15.) Go to the amusement park. I can’t even think of the last time I was at an amusement park….Pat gets sick on rides (eye roll-ahahah!)
I took these photos on my quick trip to Puerto Rico with my friend Jolinda. This Satin Dress is a little extra but I thought it was beautiful. The dress comes in about 25+ colors and is $30. I wore a size medium and think it’s so beautiful for special occasions or for just because like I wore it here!
Let me know if you do any of the above before the end of summer! Pat and I are hosting a huge group of friends here for Labor Day so we will actually be accomplishing several of the 15 Things to do before summer ends! I can’t wait to have everyone come in town to see our home and to be together!
Will share the progress on our house soon too! Things are really coming together!
