my personal summer hobbies are writing on the days that it rains, quite a bit of volleyball, and of course photography. The winter months here are brutal so I pretty much live outside throughout the hot summer days. It's almost time to break out the blender for those cold drinks with umbrellas and start fulfilling those fun things to do. If you have the means and an adventurous spirit grab a buddy and try out some of these things:
1. Indoor Skydiving. It's not as risky as the real thing but looks like quite a bit of fun and you can kiss your kids and dog goodbye and not be as frightened. It's a wind tunnel that moves up in a vertical column.
2. Indoor rock climbing is relatively cheap and fun and in my experience for some reason the first few times it feels like 8 to 10 feet in the air is so high until you look down and realize you could jump.
3. Go whitewater rafting or canoeing but make sure the canoe is in the right direction or you may want to beat up the person your with for going in circles repeatedly. It's a fun relaxing time as long as the canoe is actually the front of the canoe.
4. Take a dance class salsa, tango, line dancing it really depends what will interest you most.
5 Go zip lining. For first timers this will get your heart pumping again.
6. For all those people who think the top five are absolute madness than perhaps a roller coaster ride is excitement enough.
7. There is up and coming artists in every city and usually a festival for them. Check your local listings and go to something like art in the park. These people need some exposure.
8. If being dangerous to you is eating the most heavenly triple chocolate Sunday and you don't have any health problems associated with sugar, absolutely do it at least once.
9. If money is tight call up some friends or grab the kids, pack a lunch and have a picnic on the beach and possibly take on the task of building the world's largest sandcastle. Although this isn't the most exciting activity it is fun.
10. If life is hectic you can just make some iced coffees or green tea lemonade and just relax while reading a book on your patio for the day. There are some recommendations on a previous blog.
How to make Iced coffee and green tea lemonade:
Just throw coffee in the fridge and add cream and sugar as desired. Steep green tea, chill over night, 2/3 green tea 1/3 lemonade and shake over ice. Martini shakers work very well.
11. If your looking for a lazy adventure after a long day the Imax often has a variety of themes of interest.
12, Camping is low cost and although it isn't for everyone it can be a fun way to get the friends or family together. S'mores are always a classic love with camping and if you can't make it out to the country this is more for children or maybe a cheesy romantic night pitch the tent up in the living room and pop some s'mores in the microwave.
