summer 2023 wrap up!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I love summertime so much! It is always hard for me when it is time to say goodbye to it. It does not help that I really don’t like fall either. However, in this post, I want to focus on how great this summer was!

Travel – I got to do a lot of traveling this summer. My first big trip was to Connecticut in June. I also went on an amazing adventure in Las Vegas with my mom and my friend. Another trip I went on was a road trip to Oxnard to see the Dallas Cowboys at training camp. My final big trip of the summer was going to Idaho to visit my family. I’m glad I got to do a lot of traveling this summer

Bucket list items – I crossed three bucket list items off this summer! I crossed off number 265 and visited the Pez factory , number 272 eat at the Amy’s restaurant, and number 15, go to Las Vegas!

Museums – I got to visit some cool museums this summer, including the carousel museum and the Jelly Belly museum.

Thrift shopping – I got to do a lot of thrift shopping this summer. I went to my favorite local thrift stores and I also went thrift shopping in Idaho and Connecticut.

My mall weekend tradition – I have a tradition of picking a weekend and going to the Dollar Tree on Friday and then going to the mall on Saturday. I had a lot of fun this year shopping at some of my favorite places.

Swimming – I got to do a good amount of swimming this year. I went swimming a lot when I was in Oxnard. I’m really blessed that I got to go swimming as much as I did.

Outdoor fun – I got to do some fun outdoor activities this summer. I enjoyed walking at a local park , visiting Kent Falls State Park, going to two different zoos, and exploring hot springs in Idaho.

Celebrating the fourth of July – I had a great time celebrating the 4th of July this year. I went to an event that included fireworks.

Summer 2020 wrap up

Hello,my bucket list friends! Well, it’s time to say goodbye to summer. Summer is my favorite season and it’s always hard to say goodbye but let’s look back on my summer 2020 fun! Here we go !

When I think about this summer the first things that stand out are my vacations to Idaho and Montana. Even though I’ve been to Idaho many times I got to go to the botanical gardens for the first time and I really enjoyed it. This summer was my first time going to Montana and I really liked their zoo. Some other summer  highlights include going thrift shopping, going swimming,going to the mall, getting my haircut and spending time with some great people! As always I get sad when summer comes to an end. It’s my favorite season because it is often filled with fun and adventure. I wonder what adventures I will go on next summer.

Rock On – Christina Epperly
