Heating Up Your Summer Vacation

So finally, the sun has shown its sprightly vivacious rays on the green, green grass, on Mrs. Wilson’s flowering shrubs next door and on you! It is now the time to spruce up and get yourself set to enjoy that much desired summer vacation, no more waking up at six o’clock in the morning to prepare for school, no more being tied up in classroom learning about the life of Attila, the Hun and no more chemical explosions in the chemical laboratory. This is the moment to bask and have fun in the sun. There are a myriad of ways wherein which you can make the most out of your vacation. Here are a few ideas in making your sunny break the best ever yet.

Leave off your inhibitions and go wild. Its summer, you can go and indulge in whatever you want. You are free from schoolwork and have literally control over how you spend your time. Do not waste it being a couch potato and prosecute yourself to watch boring reruns and ads on television. Get creative. Try something new. Go for the outdoors. Save your staring at the boob tube when it is raining or when the snow comes. The sun is here; make the most out of it. Get yourself in the water. The beach has always and is a favorite summer getaway, and why not. The beach offers a dozen of possibilities.

You can try to go and learn how to surf or better yet, try scuba diving and get to know those wonderful corals under the sea. Get your gang of sun-loving friends together and play a game of Frisbee or beach volleyball and even soccer. This will be like hitting two birds with one stone and you get to work out while having fun with your friends. Out of the water, you can also take pleasure in sunbathing and working on your tan. Summer is a great time to flaunt and show off your healthy skin. Bring out those bikinis and mini-shorts. You may get a bonus wink and a look of admiration from your long time crush.

If you are feeling adventurous, you may want to take your vacation to the next level and take a trip out of state or even out of the country. Visit your dream location and Paris is great for fashion aficionados and hopeless romantics; Disneyland is perfect for kids of all ages. There are also a number of cruise packages that you can avail of. Spending the summer sailing the Caribbean is a wonderful treat. Or if you want, you can go camping. All you need is a backpack, a cooler with a cool stack of food and drinks, your car keys and you are good to go. Bring in the family and bond with marshmallows in front of the campfire. You will get to strengthen your connection with your wife and kids and maybe learn a thing or two about the outdoors. This is also a good opportunity to teach your kids about the value of nature and the environment.
