Sweet Summer Memories

Summer is coming!  Well, at least in theory.  Vancouver had a delicious taste a little while ago, but since then, the cupboard has been a little bare.  Ah well, at least we have our sweet memories of summers past to tide us over. Which brings me to this week's listicle, 10 summer memories.  I had to dig deep into the archives to bring you some of these:

Camp.

Backbacking around Europe with the man I now call the Hubs.


Heading across the border to the Gorge Amphitheatre for outdoor concerts.  Camping in a huge field in the middle of nowhere just to see the Dave Matthews Band play three nights in a row.

White water rafting.
Yeah, that's me riding up front with the dubious look on my face.
Camping.


Cookouts.
Leftovers, anyone?


Beach days.


Waterparks.

Turning a drinking fountain into our own personal water park on a hot day.


What are your favourite summer memories?  Share them in the comments, and head on over to visit the Listmaster for more Monday Listicles!

    1. Well I'll let you know when summer arrives on the West coast and then you can start planning your trip out here. ;) Agreed on the water park front!

  10. Love your list! Here in NC we have hot, humid summers and water play is the most desired thing to do.
