Happy first day of summer!!!

Summers are short and sweet in New England so we always make the most of them. We try to spend our days outside and make every moment count. A Summer Bucket List helps keep us on track and creating one lets us daydream of days to come. Last summer was a crazy one, but it did let us fill our days with family time. Here is our list for 2021!!

Go to a drive-in movie

Sunset dinners at the sandbar

Watch all of the X-Men movies

Go to Lake Fest, a summer concert on the water

What’s On Your Travel Bucket List?

“We grow great by dreams. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light, which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.”
– W. Wilson

Many of us are taking a pause from traveling, but that isn’t going to stop us from daydreaming. Now is the perfect time to create your Travel Bucket List so you can do a little daydreaming about your next adventure. After all…#wewilltravelagain!

Why did I start my list?

When I was in college I had an English professor that was the stereotypical hippy, turtleneck wearing, book loving, ‘Let’s have class outside’ kind of professor. I absolutely LOVED him! (Ok…it helped that he was also really cute!) He had a philosophy that everyone should have a Bucket List. However, he called it a Life List because it should be about your life, not your death. He suggested always having 100 items on your list at all time. When you accomplish one, you need to replace it with another. As the years went on, a new list was created…my Travel Bucket List.

End-of-Summer Bucket List

And just like that…summer is almost over. School starts next week and then homework, sports, and after-school activities take the lead. No more lazy afternoons where the hardest decision is which float to lounge on before the sun sets. My girls went away to sleep away camp for the first time so I feel like I was robbed of two weeks of play. Now we are in the final stretch of summer and it’s time to fit in as much fun as we possibly can. Here is our end-of-summer bucket list…

Susan G Komen 3-Day Walk- Boston

(In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month…)

When I was 5 and my brother 7, we lost our mother to ovarian cancer. That changed my life forever. Three years ago my daughters were just about to turn 5 and 7 and I knew I had to contribute some way to raising awareness about cancer (all cancers) and help with fundraising for research. When I decided to do the Susan G Komen 3 -Day walk in Boston I never knew how much it would change me.

Learning to Ski at 40

This morning I jumped from an airplane, landed on the top of a snowcapped mountain, and skied down a black diamond trail. Well…ok…not exactly. I actually just went up the Magic Carpet and came back down a few times but I can tell you it was just as scary! I am 40 years old (Ugh…that can’t be right) and I am just learning how to ski.

Get Messy! 10 Tips for the Color Run

If you see me running around your neighborhood, I’d like you to call the police because there’s a good chance someone is chasing me. I am not a runner. I envy people that actually have the ability to lace up their sneakers, throw their headphones on and go for a leisure 5 mile run. I’m getting shin splints just thinking about it! My 8-year-old daughter does an amazing program called Girls on the Run, that teaches them about self-confidence and girl power while training them for a 5K. At the end they complete the 5K with an adult and she chose me to run it with her. After that first run she said, “I think we should do the Color Run…you know…since we’re runners now!” Hahaha…yep…runner…that’s me. So on a rainy cold day in the summer of 2015 we laced up our sneakers and had the absolute best time doing this run. Here are 10 tips about this amazing race:

Palio Horse Race in Siena, Italy

Imagine standing inside a crowded piazza in Italy as horses and their riders soar around you at top speed, horses hitting the padded walls, and jockeys being thrown and collapsing onto the dirt track. Each summer, in Italy, tens of thousands of spectators come to Siena to experience the horse race called Palio. It is the most unforgettable race I’ve ever attended!
