Summer in the City

"Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright"

I love the summer. Well most of it. The heat I can do without. Just a little warm, please. I do love those summer nights though. Getting together for a cold beer and bbq. There are things you can only experience during the summer. I have compiled 5 of my favorite things to do during the summer. Tomorrow I will post 5 fun activities I have yet to try and 5 great summer songs!

5 Fave Summer Activities

5. Hang in the AC

Nothing is better than a cold, freezing house during a heat wave. We had a pretty nasty heat wave last week where it was so unbearable to be outside. The cure: lay around eating watermelon and watching Netflix, of course.

4. Homemade popsicles

I made some watermelon sorbet recently, I am looking for some good molds to make some popsicles this year. I lost mine from last year. Here is a little inspiration from my main lady, Martha:

3. BBQ

My friends and I have started a weekly ritual of meeting up to BBQ and hangout. It's been a fun way to catch up since we are all pretty busy and also to cook together. Here are some cool grill recipes I pinned recently:

2. Swimming
Swimming is so much fun! You get a good workout in and you are all hungry for some BBQ when you get out. My in-laws have a pool and live nearby. I cannot wait to take advantage of this!

1. Go to the beach!
The best. Period. Beautiful scenery, great drive and delicious seafood. Derek and I got married at the beach and it was pretty nice. My parents moved to the coast in the last couple years and it has been spectacular to visit. Not only is Morro Bay amazing but the surrounding beaches as well as the day trip to Big Sur is breathtaking.

Any fun things you like to do? Let me know so we can all try it out!
