~Summer of Love~

*UPDATE*

*As of October 9, it's still absurdly hot outside and it still feels like summer. Since many of these items could be done all year long in Texas, I'm going to keep crossing them off my list! Hooray! *

I was reading Mrs. Jones blog the other day and she inspired me to make a list of things I wanted to do this summer. Since I've been subbing, my job will (sadly) come to an end this Thursday and I will be left to look for something new to occupy my time. I hate having a set schedule and someone bossing me around-we'll see what I come up with. But I still want this summer to be super fun. After all-it is Jeff's first summer in Texas!

So this summer, we want to:

  • Go to San Antonio, enjoy the River Walk, show Jeff the Alamo and the bar where the Rough Riders met
  • Enjoy the area, maybe pick some blueberries
  • Canoe Cato Lake swamps
  • Canoe and float down the Guadalupe river in San Marcus
  • Enjoy Lake Conroe
  • Go to the beach
  • Go to Blue Lagoon in Huntsvegas that Sonia always talks about
  • Get rad tan lines again (not a t-shirt tan like last summer-LAME!)
  • Do a triathlon, marathon, or half marathon... or at least train for one in the fall (with Connie and Hailey!!!)
  • Go camping along the river
  • Visit my Grandmas
  • Go to Tanya's wedding (as the maid of honor!!! WOOHOO!)
  • Go fishing
  • Take the kids to the beach
  • Read at least 5 books
  • Buy a new car... bless the old one's heart, I really hate to see it go.. we've been through so much together... but well-it's probably time...
  • Be part of something big-work with children, inspire them to be better
  • Take the Cub Sprouts somewhere cool
  • Go to Schlitterbahn (Jeff wants to enjoy the lazy river naked)
  • Go to Splash Town
  • Go Camping
  • Go to Corpus Christi
  • Make some money

That sounds like the funnest list. I will help you on the training thing for tri, half or full marathon. If you pick one out for early fall I will even do it with you. We are coming out there between august 12-18 ish. So we can get a weeks worth of training in then.
