Summer Bucket List Update

Okay ya’ll…do you remember just a few weeks back when I posted an End of Summer Bucket List?  I wanted to keep you all in the loop with how it’s been going.  So, how has it been going?  Well, probably about as good as my Spring Bucket List.

Actually, if I were really honest, it’s going much worse than my Spring Bucket List.  In fact, I am starting to wonder, why do I keep making these lists?  It feels like some sort of self-punishment.  It’s like, okay Katie, let’s make a list of things you will never do (insert roaring laughter).  I am only joking (a little).

Realistically our Summer has been super busy, so, no, we haven’t done everything on the list, but we have had a great Summer.  But just in case you are wondering, here is what we have gotten done:

End of Summer Bucket List:

  1. Spend the day at the beach : Completed on August 8th, 25th and 28th.IMG_20160820_120600
  2. Get new boogie boards and put them to use : Thanks to Costco, our new boards are awesome!IMG_20160718_100025
  3. Have a late night outdoor cookout and enjoy our warm Summer nights : Update: our warm Summer nights have officially passed :(
  4. Make a point to enjoy at least 3 sunsets (not at home) (yes, this means I will need to change out of my pj’s) : So far we have made it to one.  And I am starting to think that this might be as good as it gets.IMG_20160806_212455
  5. Fly a kite
  6. Go for an outdoor happy hour
  7. Go out for Taco Tuesday at this famous eatery and then enjoy a beach walk
  8. Go for a hike : Completed on August 10th, we hiked Cowles Mountain.
  9. Go on a Summer vaca (already in the works, details soon!) : We are about to head out of town, tune in here to see where we are!
  10. Go to a concert at Humphreys : Humphreys has come and gone, but we did enjoy several concerts at the Marina Park South and loved all of the fireworks.IMG_20160826_222139
  11. Go dancing
  12. Try a new restaurant (maybe this one)
  13. Go to a Padres game
  14. Take our beach cruisers on the boat over to Coronado and bike around for the day
  15. Make a stone fruit dessert (probably this one)
  16. Go to Belmont Pier
  17. Go out for ice cream (preferably here or here)
  18. Splurge on this deep dish with friends : Not once, but twice have we ordered this amazing beast of a pizza, the great sausage stuffed pie.  If you live in San Diego, please do yourself a favor and go order one now!IMG_20160717_075535

So, we almost made it to halfway done.  Not bad if you are shooting for average, right?  Well, we’ll see if I am a glutton for punishment and come up with a Fall list.  Maybe instead of calling it a “bucket list,” I should just call it “inspiration.”  Fall Inspiration, that sounds kind of nice, right?
