While it's not technically summer yet, most of this amazing spring in Seattle has felt like summer. Every year it seems like summer flies by before I've had a chance to do many of the things I want to! This year, I'm making a list for myself, mostly because I love lists! I hope you love lists too!
Blackberry sorbet cone from Lush Gelato in Berkeley
Dahlias for days at Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island
Make ice cream
Camp on the Olympic Peninsula
Hike in the North Cascades, maybe this trail? On that subject- hike more! At least once a month!
Bake lots of seasonal pies, especially this one!
Kayak in Puget Sound or Lake Washington
Get temporary tattoos to share with a friend, like these!
Spend time adventuring outdoors with both my nieces
Roast hot dogs and marshmallows over a campfire with friends
Play mini golf
Picnic in a park
Drink lots of homemade iced tea
Take a road trip
