Hey y’all! It has been a minute since I posted anything and I didn’t realize how much I missed it! Not much has happened since my last post, the recap of my LA trip, but I feel like its been a looong couple months and I am ready for another vacation already. Who can relate??
Luckily, despite the stress of work and week after week of dragging myself out of bed every morning (LOL can you tell I need a vacation), it has finally gotten warm enough to do some fun stuff around the city! Personally, I love warm weather so much that it makes me happy just to chill in my back yard, but I DO love hanging out with friends at old and new favorite spots in DC.
I have found lately, as I seem to do every summer, that by the time we really get into the swing of summer, I already have so many things planned out every weekend that I barely have time to squeeze anything else in! Summer always presents a struggle of trying to balance having fun plans throughout the summer (in town and out of town) with days that I can spontaneously meet up with friends and do random fun summer stuff.
My friend and I were hanging out last weekend and literally couldn’t figure out a day that we could go to the pool and just chill 😂 I mean, there are obviously worse problems to have, but I always want to do the most in the summer so I need to get myself together already!
For that reason, I find it useful to sit and write out a list of things I definitely want to do at SOME point this summer. It not only helps organize my thoughts and plans, but it lets me look back later and be like “damn, I really did have a bomb ass summer!”. Read on to see what’s on my bucket list and leave a comment letting me know what’s on yours!!
