Every summer, Margaux and I put together our summer bucket list. It’s something I look forward to every year, and if I’m being honest we usually put it together during Spring Break because I freaking love summer. This year was no different and our list was created the first day of Spring Break (to be fair we had a really late break this year).

Things that tend to make our summer bucket list every year:

• Go to the beach
• Have a Picnic
• Eat Ice Cream
• Go to the Movies
• Play in the Sprinklers
• Celebrate my (Margaux’s) Birthday

Some new additions this year:

• Go to the Lindsay Wildlife Experience (we have a family pass but haven’t been yet)
• Visit CuriOdyssey  (we can use our Lindsay Pass to get in!)
• Hang out at Koret Playground in Golden Gate Park
• Go Bowling (we signed up for the Kids Bowl Free program!)
• Go to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk

We have plenty of fun things lined up this summer including a few camps, family coming to visit, and hopefully some down time to explore and do our own thing. I’m excited to get to spend way more time with my kiddo, I’ve missed that a bit since putting her back in regular school. I’m also excited for slow mornings and lazy days. That’s something I’ve also missed about not homeschooling any more!

I would love to hear what you all are planning for the summer! Do you also make a summer bucket list? What are your go-tos? Any fun expeditions on the horizon? Let me know in the comments! <3

Need help documenting your summer? I’m offering a summer special to help capture all the fun! This summer I’m booking 30 minute summer fun sessions that include 10 images for $495. These sessions are great if you want to document some summer fun AND be in the pictures as well! Sessions can be at the beach, at a splash pad, or at your favorite ice cream parlor. Select weekends are available so get in touch if you’d like to get a session on your schedule!
