Visit a local vineyard

Visit local brewery

I wasn't sure we would get to a local vineyard but we actually got to two of them in mid-late September and it was still technically summer.

We visited this one recently and I was wowed by their flower gardens.

Mr. Click's band played here and it had beautiful views and good wine.  We never made it to a local brewery but we have plenty to visit this fall.

Host a dinner party or happy hour

Pool Days

We hosted a few Sunday Fundays and had meals at each of them so I'm counting that as "yes".  This also counts as pool days.

Plant a garden

I planted way more flower this year (than last year) and got some good results. I loved seeing the morning glories start to bloom in late summer.

I also planted my perennial garden and I've been getting more flowers as the season goes on.  We have two huge basil plants as well.

Tomato Sandwiches

This is a summer must for me with a ripe, juicy New Jersey tomato! I like mine on toast with some mayo and cheese. Lots of salt and pepper too!

Pizza on the grill

We love to make pizza during the year inside but there's something about cooking it on the grill that just makes it better.

Pick Berries

Peach or Berry Dessert

We never got to pick any berries but I did make a mixed berry crisp.

Bike Rides

I'm getting braver this year and we've taken more bike rides and also when City Girl #2 was visiting us.

Fresh corn

Mr. Click makes this corn salsa every summer and it's always a hit.

S'mores on the Firepit

City Girl #2 and I made s'mores on the firepit.

Go to the children's museum with our niece and nephews

This was their birthday gift from us and we finally got to take them (along with their parents and baby brother).  Followed by a pizza dinner of course!

Outdoor concert

We got to see Oasis at Metlife Stadium which was quite the thrill! I'll have a post on that later.

For the rest of the list: 

• Family Vacation + other trip
• Beach Days 

The family vacation was definitely on our list and we took the girls to Disney in June which was so much fun. The special trip to Kauai  happened to fall in the summer and was a bonus.

We did get one beach day in at home but we prefer our pool.  For the record, we do take daily walks by the ocean and along the boardwalk so I think they count as beach days too. 

That was a pretty busy and full summer!  

Do you do a summer bucket list? I think I need to do one for fall now.
