Rules of Summer - Part 3

Summer's just a few weeks away, so it's only fitting that I've already started to think about some of the things I want to do before Labor Day. Since I'm a sucker for a to-do list (you can see past summer checklists here and here), I've compiled the ten things I'd most like to accomplish this upcoming season.

1. Visit a pick-your-own-berries farm. Then make this.

2. Try out a shorter hairstyle (something I haven't done since um, I was five years old).

3. Take a spontaneous weekend trip someplace I've never been (I've always wanted to go to Montana).

4. Host a backyard oyster shucking + champagne party.

5. Take tennis lessons.

6. String lights in the backyard for impromptu al fresco dining.

7. Take a pasta making class here.

8. Go to a drive-in movie theatre - I never have!

9. Make a gallery wall of photographs in our living room.

10. Watch fireworks by the water in Sausalito (where I'd go every year as a kid).

I'd love to know - what are you most looking forward to this summer?
