Spring has been serving up a whole lot of sunshine lately—with the occasional hefty dose of rain. I guess the latter is to be expected, you know, since April showers bring May flowers (or so they say). Either way, I’ve been craving all of that bursting, soul-warming vitamin D. Gimme.
A few months ago, I wrote a blog post on fifty things I wish I had done in 2016. So in light (get it?) of the golden sun and warmer weather, I rounded up a bucket list for summer.
1) Get a tan (obviously)
2) Pay off all of my debt
3) Take more pictures (as if I don’t take enough already)
4) Take a road trip to the desert
5) Take a photography + photo editing class
6) Do a triathlon
7) Buy a new car (I need a new one, like, yesterday)
8) Go to the Alameda or Rose Bowl Flea Market
9) Hit 2,000 followers on Instagram (help a sista out, people)
10) Surf in Santa Cruz
11) Run across the Golden Gate Bridge
12) Go on a boat
13) Buy a Monday Swimwear ‘kini
14) Run from Santa Cruz to Capitola

24) Plan a vacation
25) Redecorate the bedroom (again)

28) Write a fun DIY blog post

39) Make a big move (preferably to Orange County)
40) Go to a Dierks Bentley concert
41) Brunch on the beach
42) Take a video editing class
43) Get a massage (believe it or not, it will be my first)
44) Paddle board in Lake Tahoe
45) Make a fun, new cocktail
46) Learn how to use Adobe Lightroom
47) Find a new television series to binge watch
48) Drive along the California coast on highway 1

50) Last but not least, have fun
Here’s to hoping I can check some (or all) of these off of my list.
