I can’t believe this is the 4th Summer Bucket List.  I must admit, I seem to have the hardest time crossing things off my summer lists. You know why? I really love just lounging on the beach. But, since I’m one for tradition, let’s get started on my 2016 Summer Bucket List.

1. Go Camping. We are heading up to Vermont in a few weeks so let’s hope I get to spend an evening in a sleeping bag sleeping under the stars!
2. Get on the Water. And by on the water, I mean, getting myself on a stand-up paddle board.
3. Create a New Signature Cocktail. During these warm summer nights, I tend towards the same cocktail: Hendricks with a San Pellegrino Grapefruit, elderflower liquor and a squeeze of lime. We have a bar set that just sits on the bar so I need to start muddling away and coming up with some interesting and delicious combinations.
4. Explore the Other Islands. Block Island, Boston Harbor Islands, Shelter Island, Martha’s Vineyard… it’s time to see what these other islands have to offer.
5. Host a Labor Day BBQ. This will most certainly happen as we have rented a house on the island for the week of Labor Day. Just ordered the invitations last night so can’t wait to start the menu planning for this. Any suggestions for a BBQ must have?

What’s on your summer bucket list? Would love to hear!
