Does your summer bucket list need a little help? Check out these socially-distant activities:
Go for a hike

Have a picnic
Sunny weather is picnic weather.

Take a long drive
Sometimes the views on a long drive speak for themselves.

Plan a roadtrip
The purest form of adventure is a road trip.

Gather up all of your favorite travel sites, pictures and even a map if you need one and plan out a road trip to take this summer. Then, go for it! But please don't forget the mandatory stop at the gas station for snacks.
Go shopping
This color palette is giving me life.

Have a lake/pool day
There is just something about a day at the lake.
Photo by Mark Bosky on UnsplashI cannot think of a better way to relax and unwind than time at my favorite lake. Right now, any body of water will do: lake, pool, river or even an inflatable pool in your backyard. Don't have any of that? You can still get that nice summer tan just laying out in the backyard just don't forget the spf!
Plan a game night
On game nights even shy people are competitive.

Have a backyard cookout
I can smell the food from this picture and now I am hungry.
Photo by Michael Kilcoyne on UnsplashFire up that grill and make all of your favorite foods! Hot dogs, chips, hamburgers, potato salad, fruits or even a veggie tray if you are feeling a little crazy. Or, you could invite some friends and make it a potluck!
Staycation at your favorite hotel
Cheers to staycations!
Photo by Helena Lopes on UnsplashCan't go out of state? Don't worry, a staycation makes you feel as though you are on a real vacation. Do some research and pick a hotel that fits your type of staycation then all you have to do is book it and drive there; it can't get any easier!
Hold a movie night under the stars
Not many people know this but the light of the projector will attract all of the gross bugs and keep them away from you while you enjoy your movie!
Photo by Jeremy Yap on UnsplashThis is such a fun and different thing to do. All you need is a projector of some kind and a surface to project onto I recommend a garage door. Then, pick a movie, gather up all of the comfy blankets and get your popcorn ready.
