After a horrifically cold Winter, and an inconsistently blah Spring, Summer has finally arrived with bells on and I couldn’t be happier! It’s my favorite season- and not only because my birthday is in Summer. I love this season because it’s a season where people are happy and carefree, and most importantly the weather is hot hot hot! People are out and about mingling and having fun in the sun, how could you not love Summer!?
As my younger brother tries to figure out what he will do this summer, I’ve been thinking about the good old days when Summer vacation meant sleeping in everyday and staying up late every night. I miss the good old days when I would spend my Summer at my cousin’s house in New York and we’d have fun doing a whole bunch of nothingness. I miss the days when kids were assigned summer reading that wasn’t optional, or when you could get a vanilla ice cream waffle cone from the ice cream man for $1.
Summer brings back so many childhood memories, so this Summer I’m challenging myself to embark on a vintage Summer adventure. This Summer, I want to try old school things that I’ve never tried before, and maybe even some old school things I haven’t done since I was a kid- things like catching a movie at a drive-in, going to a local fair to ride a ferris wheel, and even buying fruits and vegetables from a farmer’s market. If anything, my vintage adventure will make for great date nights with my boyfriend. Oh what fun there is to be had!
