Good morning. Today I am linking for June's Monthly Musings talking about summer traditions.
1. Share your summer plans.
I am working my same schedule, so that part looks the same to me year round. I have a few weddings and a trip planned for August. Other than that, I am just enjoying the time my daughter is home from college. I know there may not be many more of these left as her summers will get busier and lead her to other places.
2. What are your summer traditions?
Even though summer looks so different now, I still enjoy the slower pace of summer. I love that traffic is not as bad when I drive to work. I love that there are outdoor events and a relaxed state of mind for most people. I don't have any huge traditions, other than trying to get in a trip at some point.
3. What is your favorite summer destination?
I would say a beach or a cruise destination, but really anywhere! I also think an amusement park and going to a MLB baseball game is fun too...if it isn't 100 degrees in the sun.
4. Do you prefer the ocean or a lake?
I prefer to see the ocean from the beach and wade my feet. For a lake, I would like to just ride in a boat. Of course, I would love riding on a cruise ship in the ocean!
5. Do you have any pool time planned?
I have been in a pool twice this year, but hope to go at least a few more times either to my sister's house or a friend's house.
6. Best travel or packing tips?
Like so many of us, packing cubes are amazing for so many purposes. I keep my travel bag essentials (travel size items, medicine, travel mirror, small bags for chargers, medicine box) ready to go in my suitcase at all times.
7. Favorite summer movie?
The first one that comes to mind is one of my all time favorites, Sweet Home Alabama. I just love this one.
8. What songs say summer to you?
Boys of Summer, Don Henley
Anything by Jimmy Buffet
Mambo No. 5 (takes me back to a cruise I took)
9. What do you like on your burgers or hot dogs?
I don't remember the last time I had a hot dog, but I do eat a bratswurst from time to time, which I would eat plain. For a hamburger, I like avocado, lettuce and tomato with the meat, but usually don't eat the bun.
10. Charcoal or gas grill?
I don't grill outside, but I would go with gas vs. charcoal I think.
Amusement parks and baseball games are summer classics!
ReplyDeleteYes, and y'all have some great ones near you!
DeleteAnother great summer movie, Sweet Home Alabama!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am going to watch it this summer!
DeleteTotally forgot to mention amusement parks and baseball games- some of my favorite past times too- hope you are able to swing a little getaway this summer! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I miss doing those things, but definitely a summer favorite!
DeleteSweet Home Alabama is such a good movie!
ReplyDeleteI agree! This is one I don't get tired of watching!
DeleteSweet Home Alabama is a favorite of mine too. It's one I can watch over and over and it never gets old. I enjoy a baseball game in the summertime too. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteI agree and hope you do as well!
DeleteI love Sweet Home Alabama! I'm almost always up for any travel anywhere and your way of enjoying beaches and ponds/lakes sounds a lot like mine.
ReplyDeleteYes, a boat helps me enjoy them more!
DeleteI need to rewatch Sweet Home Alabama!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun re-watch!
DeleteAh, the Boys of Summer...such a great song! I loved my first (and only so far) MLB game, but man was it hot in the Texas heat in July! Yikes! Glad you are enjoying your summer so far. It sure has been hot, huh?
ReplyDeleteAnything in Texas in July sounds hot, but glad it was a fun memory!
DeleteGreat answers! You make me think I need to listen to more "summer" music. I love the playlists on Spotify. I also love yacht rock. I love a good hot dog about twice a year! I think I like them more than a brat.
ReplyDeleteI love Yacht Rock too! That definitely says summer & can imagine y'all enjoy that on the boat often.
DeleteI am so with you on the avocado on a burger. Thanks for joining us again this month.
