If you know me then you know how much I LOVE Summertime. There are like a gazillion things you can find to do..(if the northwest Indiana weather permits of course.)
1.One of my favorite things to do is go to the Drive-In Movie theater. Not only does it feel like your going back in time, but it's also a great family-oriented place(with the exception of getting stuck next to a person who smokes.:()Another bonus... $8 to see two movies! This weekend my sister and I went to see Despicable Me and Twilight:Eclipse. Both were pretty good movies,and you definitely can't beat the price.
2.Another one of my favorite things is going to the beach, which unfortunately I can never seem to manage to do. With working and other things planned on the weekends it is a surprisingly hard for me to go, which is sad because I Love being out in the sun getting tan and enjoying the heat.
3.The water park can be extremely fun, there's just the expense of the high entrance fee, and expensive food..so for a one time day it's okay or if your good enough to remember in December that you can get tickets for crazy cheap then it's in your best interest to do that!
4.Chicago!! I love being up in the City, the people, the lights, the constant motion...I just love it. I love walking Michigan Avenue, going to the theater, the museums. In the summer they always have something going on outside, a jazz fest, dance fest, tech show, etc...
5.Weekend getaways are always fun. I get sick sometimes of staying home. And, since I have a job and week long vacations are seldom and have to planned well in advanced...weekend trips are perfect! Whether it's camping, or hanging out in a hotel, or a mini road-trip, you can usually do any of these things for pretty cheap too.
