How I Did on my Summer Bucket List - 2023

August 31, 2023

 

Hello friends.  I can't believe that August is over and tomorrow is September 1st.  I hope you enjoyed the summer months.

  


I did a Summer Bucket List 2023 at the beginning of the summer.  


SUMMER BUCKET LIST 2023

  • Go to the beach
  • Go to Coney Island
  • Take a vacation with my husband
  • Gardening - Take care of my plants, herbs, and veggies
  • Annual family summer BBQ
  • Visit outdoor concert
  • Get ice cream
  • Barbecue some new recipes
  • Try out a new recipe
  • Try a new restaurant
  • Read books
  • Stream movies & tv shows
  • Visit a farmer's market
  • Work on my crochet market bag
  • Clean out garage
  • Declutter my basement
  • Visit a museum
  • Take a day trip to a new place


HERE IS HOW I DID ON MY SUMMER BUCKET LIST: 

  • We went to our nearby beach and we also went to the beach in New Jersey.
  • We went to Coney Island for hotdogs at Nathans and ate them on the beach.
  • My husband and I didn't get to go on vacation to Las Vegas as we planned at the beginning of July.  You can read all about that here.  We did manage to take a car trip and vacation to the Jersey Shore last week.  
  • My flowers and veggies did great this summer.  I grew kale, cherry tomatoes, romaine lettuce, zucchini, eggplant, basil, oregano, and watermelon.  My husband makes us protein shakes every day and he added kale to our shakes.  I made a few salads with the romaine lettuce I grew and threw in a few cherry tomatoes that I planted.  I made eggplant with olive oil and garlic.  I made pesto a few times with the basil I grew and made it with pasta. 
  • We had our annual family BBQ last month which was a big hit.
  • I didn't go to any outdoor concerts.
  • We had ice cream a few times this summer.
  • We didn't BBQ any new recipes.
  • I did not make any new recipes, but I'll have to try some this fall.
  • I did try out a new restaurant.  My husband and I went to an Italian restaurant called Nonna Dora's.  We both enjoyed our dinner.  I will be doing a blog post about our dinner.
  • I did read some books over the summer.  I will be doing a blog post of what I read.
  • We did a lot of streaming tv shows and movies this summer.  I will do a blog post about what I saw.
  • I did not visit any farmer's markets this summer.
  • I did not work on the crochet market bag that I had started at the beginning of the summer.  I'll have to work on crocheting this bag in the fall.
  • We did clean out our garage.  We also got a new garage door installed.
  • We are working on decluttering our basement.
  • We did not visit a museum.
  • We did not take a day trip to a new place.  I would love to do it this fall.


I had a nice summer even though the month of July was very hot and we had a lot of rain storms.  

I'm looking forward to cooler weather and enjoying fall.
 
 Did you accomplish everything on your summer bucket list?
