Summer is here! What are your fun plans?

Tuesday was the first day of summer. I'm excited! What do you all have planned this year for the warm months? Travel, family stuff, new jobs, new babies, anything at all you have planned/are looking forward to this summer that you're excited about - share it here!

Re: Summer is here! What are your fun plans?

  • I have the 1st-11th of July off to hang out with DS. We are going to go kayaking, to Six Flags, and the movies, plus hang out & swim at home. We are moving this summer as well, so that is fun. DH is going camping with some friends and I will be going to Vegas with the girls in Sept.

    Lots of fun to look forward to!

  • I'm currently in Austin, Texas (for work), but it's been pretty fun!  I think I like this town.  I come home next week and then will be home working for the month of July.

    But in August, hubby and I are headed to NYC then Iceland then doing a road trip in Germany (Rhine Valley, Bavaria, Munich), France (Alsace), and Switzerland (Berner Oberland Alps).  Cannot wait.

  • Lots of family visiting over the next month. I look forward to wrapping up house projects. Our remodel might be done today and then we can start thinking about redoing the backyard. Otherwise, its going to be low key and I hope to have lots of weekends with nothing to do except enjoying the weather and life. No vacations planned.. which is weird for us but we just went on one in May and Fall is kinda up in the air right now.
  • Gold prospecting/camping on July 3rd! I can not wait. I am looking forward to the peace and quiet and of course finding gold!!

  • I'm excited for DH's birthday in about a week and a half - going out for a nice dinner and getting him a fun gift that I've been wanting to get him for a few years.

    We're headed to the North Coast for camping in July, which I think will be very fun.

    Not sure yet what we're doing for my birthday in August but I'm sure that'll be good too.

    Hoping to learn how to make jam this summer and do a bunch of baking!

  • One of my cousins is having a birthday camping trip on the Mokelumne River in August, it's free and dog-friendly so hopefully we can do that. If not, maybe river rafting, definitely peach picking as that's down the street from my house, bbq-ing, hiking and possibly planning a 1st anniversary trip (Disneyland!) in September. Hope to be KU at some point too but that will depend on when we start IUI treatments. Oh, a new job would be great too and the timing of getting KTFU will depend on the job thing.

  • Moving, of course! That's next week and will go for at least a week after. And we have the cruise to New England and the Maritimes in Aug. We don't have anything else planned except me finding a job! In Sept Drew goes on his nationwide comedy tour.
  • To start with we're staying here http://philovacationhome.com/ this weekend with some friends. It looks amazing and I'm definitely looking forward to it!

    July we have lots of plans with friends and MIL is visiting.

    August we're going to Vegas!

  • We have a few weddings to go to this summer so those should be fun.  Our main summer project is painting the inside of our house.  We also want our popcorn ceilings removed.  Not really looking forward to painting, but I can't wait to see the results.

    I would love to sneak off to Disneyland for a day or two, but not sure if that is going to happen since we need to buy painting supplies!

    Wow L, that place looks super cool! We're going camping at Hendy Woods with SIL/BIL, their kiddos and a few friends the weekend after the 4th of July. I just love the Anderson Valley area. We're also going camping closer to home in August, and hopefully a couple more times before fall.

    So besides camping, most of our summer will be spent settling into our new house! Fumigation tent comes off tomorrow, I just arranged for it to be thoroughly cleaned Saturday morning, and we move in that afternoon. I'm in denial about needing to pack, but really looking forward to the unpacking, organizing and decorating part. Next weekend we're having a big 4th of July BBQ to show our friends our new place. Hope we're somewhat unpacked by then! We'll have some minor home projects to occupy our weekends too.

    I started taking an online class this week too that goes until the end of July. Exciting stuff.

  • We are going to OKC next month for our car club's annual national meet and we decided to roadtrip there and take advantage of me being on maternity leave. I get to be on leave until the end of August which is awesome. We are still deciding whether or not to go to Hot August Nights in Reno this year.

  • I've already been to Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park (Safari Park), Coronado, Sea World.

    I've got a week of inlaws including a trip to reno-tahoe coming up

    Other than that, it's me and Q hanging out

    Hey, that's cool!

    Coming home will be fun! I'm hoping to hang out in Anchorage for a day or two on the way.

    In August I'm going on a road trip with my sister and best friend to Vegas, Bryce National Park, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona. Tooootally looking forward to that!

    I might drive up through Oregon and Washington in July, or maybe wait until fall. 

    I'm mostly just looking forward to hanging out with my sister and friends and family lots. And shopping. I've waited so long to go shopping. It's ON when I get back!

  • I'm hoping to get some things to the house done but I need my parents to get motivated. I originally wanted to start in the kitchen but with the way the stock market is going I'm opting for the less expensive which is taking down pop-corn ceilings, removing wall paper, and painting. (The house is being fixed up with money from my grandfather's estate) I'm willing to take down some of the pop-corn in the bedrooms but we need someone to come in and do the living room, dining room, and hallway. Plus, the ceilings and walls need to be textured once the pop corn and wall paper come off.

    We've already taken one trip to the coast and we're hoping to do one more in August. We're going to LA in a couple of weeks to see my favorite musical, Les Miserables (SO EXCITED!) and visit in the in-laws of course. A few days after that, MIL and SIL are coming in for a concert and we might go up to Yosemite or go to San Francisco while they're here.

  • We're going to Chicago in a few weeks and I'm really excited about that and I'll be sneaking out to CA for a quick weekend in September. Other than that, we'll be local. I have lots of visitors coming out this year and I can't wait. My bff is coming in August, I get to GTG with Hannah (!) in August and another bff is coming for Labor Day weekend. There is also talk of a Cape Cod weekend with the IL's, so that would be cool too.

    I'm back to working on my to-do list so I want to get to a show, take a trapeze class and go to the Botanical Gardens. and go back to the Met to see the Alexander McQueen exhibet. :) Lots of NYC day trips!

  • I'm taking a summer class and working in our school clinic so we don't have time to do much besides weekend trips. We're thinking about driving to LA sometimes in the near future, my family is coming in from NY so we'll be taking them around and going to Napa, and we'll probably do other little day trips.
  • Yay for summer!  I graduated my Masters program almost two weeks ago, so the time off feels wonderful!  We have some busy weekends coming up-Napa, 2 weddings (one in the OC), baptism.  I'll also be job searching from now til...I find a job!
