What's Up Weekend - Summer Bucket List Update

We have a quiet weekend coming up... which I'm thrilled about after a busy 3-day weekend last week! I need time to re-charge! While I'm doing so though, I'll be reminiscing about all the fun activities I was able to check off my summer bucket list last month. Here is the full list. I completed half of the list, so I'm feeling pretty good! 



Go "glamping" and rafting down the Delaware River: We had the BEST weather we've ever had- it didn't rain once! It was a beautiful weekend on the river! 



Get "sand flu" at least once: Yes! Just on Monday actually! 



Plan birthday vacation: Check! Every year Blue and I take a vacation for my birthday and while hanging out at the beach on Monday, our friend mentioned that she and a bunch of other couples are heading to Jamaica in December, so we're joining them! The timing couldn't be more perfect and the deal is way too good to pass up. Seriously, two ladies from a few towels overheard us talking and came over for more info lol! 

See a double feature: Yup! Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Moana. I heard mixed reviews about Spider-Man, but I really enjoyed it, especially Zendaya playing the MJ character (not a fan of Kirsten Dunst). Moana was really cute. 

Check out a new town/weekend getaway: Not sure if we're going to get another one by the end of the season, but we did go to stay in Asbury Park last weekend!




Go to 2 concerts: We saw John Mayer last Friday, and going to see Chris Stapleton next week!




Celebrate Blue's Birthday: I got Blue the John Mayer tickets for Friday night, and then Sunday we headed down to Asbury Park. We stayed at the Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, enjoyed drinks and live music at the pool, went out to dinner at The Robinson Alehouse, and then met with friends for a beach day on Monday. 




Read 5 books: I actually read 8 so far! I posted my review of Husband Material earlier this month, and the rest will be included in Steph and Jana's Show Us Your Books linkup on August 13th. (All links lead to Goodreads.) 


Husband Material- Emily Belden
The Silent Patient- Alex Michaelides
The Farm- Joanne Reyes
Watching You- Lisa Jewell
Ghost- Jason Reynolds
After Nightfall- A.J. Banner
The Art of Racing in the Rain- Garth Stein
Road to Eugenica- A.M. Rose

Watch fireworks: Watched them from my friend's porch after a BBQ on July 4th!





Binge 2 shows: I binged Stranger Things Season 3 , and about halfway through Queer Eye Season 3 and Orange is the New Black Season 7!
