...summer to do list

1. Biking So far we've been to Kensington a handful of times and plan to keep it up. Maybe we'll even make it around the 8.5 mile trail more than once, and after that....tackle some off road mountain bike trails.

2. Hiking Monday dubs and I went to the local state park for a nice little hilly, dirt trail hike. It was beautiful and invigorating. We will be going again

3. Camping One cushy, and one hardcore camping trip have already been planned, there may be more. I will take tarp naps, jump off cliffs, roast marshmallows, get dirty, drink beer for breakfast and I will love every minute of it.

4. Pedicures Okay, just because I'm doing all that rugged outdoors stuff doesn't mean my toes can't look good. I got a french pedi before my Florida trip and now I'm kinda hooked.

5. Beach Tonight lover boy and I are going to spring mill pond to stick our toes in the sand, catch some rays and float around in the cool water.

6. Concerts Last summer I think I was going to a show of some sort almost once a week. Maybe I won't go that much or I'll stick to the freebie shows. But rest assured there will be some outdoor concerts in my future. Notable choices: Taste fest, top of the park

7. Parties The days of multiple grad parties each week is long gone, there's a part of me that misses that time, then again there's a part of me (my bank account that doesn't) Not that I'm completely off the hook, I have two family silver anniversary parties. This Saturday there's a pool party up at my friends parents 80 acre property in "the thumb", and I'm definitely looking forward to it
