Look, there's still a good 3 weeks of Summer left, and just because it is now the beginning of September, does not equal the first day of Autumn. I mean, who doesn't love Pumpkin Spice Lattes, big, cozy sweaters and the magnificent changing of the colors of the leaves? All this is lovely, but there is still time to enjoy the end of the warm weather before having to transition into these attitudes that it is now Fall. Here are some last minute activities to do before the chilly wind of Fall hits the streets:
1. There is still time to go to the beach!!
Just because it is now the month of September, does not mean there are not plenty of good days to visit the beach and take a swim!! Water temperatures are still pretty decent to take a nice dip and enjoy the sand!! There are plenty of local beaches, and if not local, make a day trip with some friends!!
2. Yes, go out and visit the wonders of nature by taking a lovely hike!!
There are plenty of mountains and hiking trails up in this area to go out and still smell the flowers!! Hiking is lovely, don't wait until the cool breezes of Autumn push you off the mountain, or wear big sweaters only to be sweating at the top of the trail. Bright, sunny days are still happening and you can still get a lovely view in the final days of summer!
3. There are plenty of great amusement parks!
Up here in the Northeast Region of the United States, there is no shortage of fun amusement parks and boardwalks with rides! There is the always exhilarating Six Flags in Jackson, New Jersey. There are plenty of rides at the boardwalks of Seaside Heights, Wildwood and Point Pleasant all down the New Jersey Shore. There is Dorney Park, Hershey Park and the old-time favorite Knoebels in Pennsylvania! Take time to get a good adrenaline rush!
These are just a few summer favorites that not only myself, but a good number of my friends enjoy doing. Don't think that just because there are a few people all too excited for pumpkins and Halloween that summer has all but disappeared. These last few weeks might not seem like a lot of time, but it does give these last minute trips a good send off of summer! Gather your friends, family, or even the family dog and just take a drive in the sun and make sure you make sure summer doesn't get a bad ending as fall is rolling in. School might be in session, but summer has not finished and there are plenty of days to go and have a great time in the sun before the settling of cozy cuddles by the fireside with the all too delicious Pumpkin Spice Lattes!
