Well, here we are in September. This weekend is Labor Day and therefore the end of summer. Although, I plan on still soaking up as much sunshine and warm weather when days permit it. Now, that summer is almost over, it was time for a summer bucket list check in. Did I accomplish all my goals, did I add somethings to the list?! Let’s take a look.
- Seawolves Baseball Game
Didn’t happen but there’s still a few more weeks left of home games, so I’m hoping to make it to one before the season is up.
- Start a new show
I finished Offspring this summer, I also watched the second season of Outer Banks, watched the second season of Modern Love and I watched the Pursuit of Love. I watched a lot over the summer. The Pursuit of Love was good, it followed the lives of two women through their lives in the 1930s and 1940s. It’s only three seasons, so it’s not too long of a commitment.
- Summer reading
I read lots of books this summer, from fiction to non-fiction, beach reads and autobiographies. To see everything I read you can check out my past Currentlys or my Instagram stories. I’ve really enjoyed getting lost in books this summer.
- Travel someplace new
I didn’t travel any place new but I did have new experiences, such as travelling alone and seeing new things with family and friends.
- Best friend’s wedding shower and Best friend’s wedding
One of the highlights of my summer was celebrating one of my best friend’s bridal shower, girl’s weekend and wedding. It was incredible to see college friends and celebrate love this summer.
- See college friends
I was able to see college friends through visits to Pittsburgh, wedding festivities, shopping trips, and lunches.
- See high school friends
I saw my close high school friends this summer. I kept up with my book club this summer, I also went to my 5 Year Class Reunion, and dinners and holidays! I’m so glad I stayed close with my friends.
- Ice cream nights
My answer to everything this summer was ice cream. Good or bad day, ice cream was the answer. I went to many of my favorite ice creams spots all through the summer.
- Dinner by water
I didn’t get dinner by the water but I got lunch which was perfect! Especially in Pittsburgh and seafood too, It was perfect!
- Play putt putt
I played putt putt both here in Erie and on vacation, so fun!
- Beach day
I was able to head to the beach one morning before work and on a day off too. Plus lots of walks at the peninsula.
- Zoo
I went to many zoos this summer. I went to our local zoo a few times. I also went to the Pittsburgh Zoo and Keystone Safari too which was so much fun! Ya girl loves the zoo and animals.
- Family trip
My family and I went away for a few days at the start of the summer and thank goodness we did, because the summer got busy once we got back.
- Pittsburgh Trip
I went to Pittsburgh with friends and family this summer. I also went to different places surrounding Pittsburgh to visit friends.
- See family
I got to see lots of family this summer between picnics and celebrations and just relaxing. It was great to see so many people especially after a year without seeing people.
– White Turkey and Sara’s
Both classic summer spots. I’m so glad I was able to enjoy them with family and friends.
- Niagara Falls
I didn’t make this happen this summer but there’s still time in the fall to make it happen.
- Grill nights
I enjoyed lots of grilling. From barbecues with friends, family nights at home, and just enjoying time outside.
- Entertain friends
I didn’t get to do a lot of entertaining this summer, but I did get a lot of visits in.
- Winery or Brewery
I didn’t make this happen this fall, but I’m hoping to make it happen this fall!
- Celebrate 23
I celebrated 23 with lunch at work, followed by cake and presents on my birthday and the day after. I also went out to dinner after work the day after too. It was great to celebrate a new year full of new adevntures.
- Summer festivals
I enjoyed some local festivals as a part of my job and after work. It’s always great to support community events and change things up on weekends or after work.
- Pool days
I spent lots of days out by the pool, between reading outside, floating in the water or playing in the water. I had time to soak up the water on hot summer days!
That’s just a look at what I did this past summer. What did you accomplish this summer?!
