The Summer Adventure List

As the long days of summer are upon us, I have decided to compile a list. With my current budget being a bit too tight for the foreign adventures I long for, I knew that I needed to make a list of adventures to thrive and thoroughly enjoy the summer. In Redding temperatures average around 110-120 degrees F during the summer. Any chance you get to be on the water or escape the heat is always welcome. Maybe you are finding yourself in the same place. With summer only a few weeks in, but you’re finding that life has slowed down a bit more than you desire. I hope this list inspires you to make your own. Adventure on my friends!!

    • Right? I love list-making. Sometimes I forget to just set aside time, think about what I want to do, and then go do it. Happy list making and discovering local adventures!
