Summer days

When summer starts I always feel the need to be prepared with a list up my sleeve with fun activities and new places for our family to explore; I admit it, it is me who feels the pressure. My husband and my little one are pretty happy with lazy weekends and relaxing in front of the TV watching a good movie, just building Legos or going to the park. But that feeling that you blink and there it is -Fall, the new school year, winter.... -waiting for you right around the corner- is always with me during summer break.

With summer school, swim lessons, a soccer camp, a few art classes, bike rides, etc.... it seems summer break should be a fun and a busy one, but what about new places to explore? Isn’t this the perfect time of the year to do that?

Well, I have my list.

We would like to explore Door County this year. It is a must for Wisconsinites and we haven’t been there, even though we have lived in Madison for more than 5 years.

We would like to explore Lake Geneva, also in Wisconsin and which was in our 2015 summer list but had to cancel right before the trip because other commitments we had to attend.

We would like to go back to Sheboygan this year; standing in front of Lake Michigan from the shores of Sheboygan is just breathtaking.

We would like to repeat a few musts in the city or closer to the city: Rock lake, Devil's lake, the beauty of the Olbrich gardens (no matter the season), a few summer concerts we don't want to miss this year and some movies (kids movies) opening during the summer. We also signed up to a reading summer program with our local public library.

Right a few days after school starts, in September- we have a special destination to go to. I mean, really special to us. We’ll share later on.

Happy, healthy and blessed summer everyone.
Happy week as well.
