Now that I’ve gotten my vaccine and the weather is getting warmer, I’m getting so excited for summer! This summer will be 1000% better than last year! I can’t wait to put together my summer bucket list.
SUMMER BUCKET LIST 2021
- Pick berries: This is a tradition for us – Joe and I have been going since before we were married. I also used to berry pick with my parents almost every summer growing up. We’ve already gone strawberry picking at George’s Farm but it was a little early in the season. Last summer we had good luck with olallieberries at R&R Farms in Pescadero. If you want a Bay Area u pick guide, let me know. I’d be happy to share all the places I’ve visited.
- Have a beach day: I mean I plan to have many beach days but let’s start with one solid beach day. I like to grab sandwiches and cold drinks. Joe’s parents got us beach chairs that we can’t wait to use.
- BBQ: I love grilling in the summer. Burgers, corn on the cob, fish tacos – infinite possibilities.
- Make homemade ice cream: My parents got us this ice cream maker a couple years ago and it couldn’t be easier to use. We really like these ice cream starters. Also, we love this lemon curd ice cream recipe from my future cousin-in-law (is that a thing?!).
- Have a picnic at the rose garden: I’m all about a good summer picnic. For the past few years, Joe and I have visited the San Jose Rose Garden. It’s a beautiful spot to visit in May or June. Grab a blanket, pick up sandwiches, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the rose garden.
- Visit Maui: Maybe this is cheating because we already booked a trip but I had to include it. I can’t wait to share all my recommendations when we get back 🙂
- Make fresh lemonade: who doesn’t want fresh lemonade?!
- Wine taste in Napa: One of the best parts of living in Northern California is being able to wine taste in Napa. Check out all my favorite wineries here.
What is on your summer bucket list?
