Readers share their essential
seasonal experiences.
"I haven't been on a road
trip in a while. Piling my
kids in the car, driving
scenic routes, and visiting
small towns and national
parks would be a blast."
– David W., FL
"I'm trying to get into
water sports. Water
skiing, tubing, surfing,
kayaking—I'm excited to
head to the lake and see
what I can do."
– Joe A., TX
"I want to go camping,
sleep under the stars,
tell ghost stories, and
make s'mores."
– Blake P., TN
"There's nothing like
lounging by the pool
with a good book. I have
about eight books on my
nightstand, and my goal
is to finish them before
summer ends."
– Hannah L., IL
"Slowing down! This year
has been busy, and I'm
looking forward to longer,
sunnier days and a
much-needed break with
my family and friends."
– Rita S., Mexico
"I've heard that
berries are best in the
summertime. I'd love
to go to a local fruit
farm, pick some berries,
and use them to make
pies, smoothies, and
pancakes."
– Marilyn M., CA
"My city has so many
cool festivals I want to
check out—an Italian
festival, jazz festival, BBQ
festival, balloon festival,
and more."
– Robert A., Canada
"I know it's boring, but
going to a beach is on
my summer bucket
list. I don't care when
or where; just get me
a chair, umbrella, and
fruity drink, and I'll be
content."
– Katherine R., OH
