25 Summer Bucket List Ideas

Summer is HERE and the possibilities are endless.

I’m always looking for ways to add fun and adventure to every day life and summer is the perfect opportunity to do things you’ve always wanted to do.

Whether you are a working adult, a mom with little kids, or a teen looking for fun & cheap things to do this summer, hopefully this list has something that sparks your interest!
