summer fun – Tyler V Layne

Summertime is finally here!

Summers aren’t quite the same now as they were in the days of my youth – eating ice cream, lounging lazily by the pool, & having nothing but summer vacations & spending time with friends to think about for months. But, I still think there is something magical about those nostalgic, hot summer evenings, doing as much as you can before the sun goes down.

If you’re looking to add a little more excitement to your summer this year, read on for 50 summer bucket list ideas for adults that can fit into a weekday evening or a free weekend afternoon. Perhaps it will give just a little taste of those blissful summer days from so long ago.
