Summer Bucket List

Summer time is here and you know what that means, barbecues, three-day weekends, and dream destinations.  Summer is a great time to get out that bucket list and make plans to get the most out of the summer of 2013! Every season we try and make a bucket list. Try and do some, or most of it whenever we have the free time. Its fun to do as a couple, finding out what the other loves to do during that season, what they did as a kid, and any traditions. It's a great tradition starter for any couple whether your dating, engaged, newlyweds or an old married couple! It is also a great thing to make with friends! So, we figured we would post ours and maybe give you some ides for your own!  Here is our summer bucket list ideas!

1: Go on a road trip!

Whenever were going to be in the car for more than an hour we spend time making a road trip mix, any excuse to make a play list we take advantage of!  Road trips are great because they allow you to get away from your town, if even for a weekend, and do something outside of the mundane.  Find notable places four or five hours away from you and set out on an adventure with your guy/girl or maybe a group of friends.  Just stay away from long abandoned roads in Texas ::cough:: Texas Chainsaw Massacre ::coughcough::

We’re going try and go to Johnson City, Tn and Atlanta, GA to see some friends.

2: Spend a day at a theme park or water park!

Depending on where you live, depends on if you can do this. But, I mean, you can kill two birds with one stone and make this a road trip too! Anyways, summer is hot. I am sure you have noticed. So water parks and pools are a MUST. Try and cool down and have fun at the same time! 

In late July we’re going to try and go to Holiday World, which is in Santa Claus, IN. yes there is a Santa Clause, IN. Holiday World is a really great park because not only is it a theme park with world class wooden roller coasters but it also has a full water park attached to it! I have yet to mention that one ticket price gets you into both parks!  Other notable parks to try out:

Kings Island- Ohio

Cedar Point- Ohio

Hershey Park- Pennsylvania

Bush gardens Williams Burg- Virginia

Disney World- Florida

Disney Land- California

Schlitterbahn Water Park-Texas

Water World-Colorado

3:  BOOKS!
