As the summer approaches, I can't help but think about all of the fun activities that take place during those warm, sunny months. With that being said, I decided to come up with a bucket list of date ideas that I want to try and complete this summer.

1. Attend a concert.

More specifically a country concert.

2. Lay in the bed of a truck and watch the stars.

I think this one is pretty self-explanatory.

3. Go to the beach.

I don't care where just somewhere where I can put my toes in the sand.

4. Go on vacation.

It doesn't have to be anything extravagant, just a little something to get away from the norm.

5. Have a picnic.

Again, it doesn't matter, where. Just a packed lunch somewhere quiet with my favorite person.

6. Sit around a campfire.

The more people, the merrier, as long as there are s'mores.

7. Go to the zoo.

You can never go wrong with seeing the penguins.

8. Go go-karting.

Mainly because I figure if I can beat him in Mario Kart on the Wii, I can beat him in this too. And I love winning.

9. Go to a baseball game.

We both love sports, and you can't go wrong with a baseball game on a summer day.

10. Get ice cream.

This is always a good one considering Dairy Queen is a 15-minute walk away.

11. Pet some dogs.

Whether it's at a shelter or just in the neighborhood, dogs always have a way of making a bad day good
