  5. This is a good summer list. I went on a dope bike ride this summer. I don't have a real list, but we will be doing a lot of local things. Most making a lot of memories in our current home.

  7. I've been wanting to go on a picnic date with my husband at a lake. I think it would be romantic, but we always tend to have our kids with us, so I may have to plan a family date instead.
