Inspired by Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere in her “Rules of Summer” post where she makes a list of all the fun things she wants to/must do for the summer, I’ve decided to make my own list. I like the idea. It’s very New Year’s resolutionsesque but with a shorter timeline, which is perfect for me since I tend to forget what the hell my resolutions were by around March/April. I’ll see if a three month timespan works any better and if it does maybe I’ll do it for each season! Am I the only one excited by this? Quite likely, but here it goes… 

Nerissa’s Rules of Summer 2010

1. Go kayaking.

2. Take the dogs on outings to Point Isabel and other beautiful spots.

3. Soak up the sun by swimming at least twice a week.

4. Go whale watching.

5. Read!!!

6. Be a San Francisco tourist for a day.

7. Take an aerial class.

8. Plan a family activity…picnic at the park or maybe water rafting?

9. Watch a movie at the drive-in.

10. Try out some new recipes.

I’m sort of cheating because I have a couple of the rules already booked…like whale watching (but more on that later). Some of the rules are just plain old good-for-you things that I generally try to do year round, like exercising and reading, but sometimes I slack and now that it’s a rule I must do it…or something like that. Other rules, like being a tourist in San Francisco for the day, is something that Marc and I have talked about doing for a long time but just haven’t yet but now that it’s a rule….you get the idea.  

What’s on your summer to do list?
