I was riding my bike the other day, enjoying the sun on my back as I rode down the bike path. Looking at the historical monuments on one side and the Potomac River on the other.

There are a lot of cool places to see here in the DC/VA area, best seen on the bike path because on the street I feel like a slow moving target for the cars! By the way, there is a new law in Virginia stating that drivers must leave a 3 feet space between bicyclists and cars. Oh but I get off track so easily…both on my bike and in my thoughts!!

I really wanted to talk about SUMMERTIME…and how quickly it is leaving us! So with still a few days left before the leaves turn colors, the days get shorter, and we need to bundle up in sweaters, I thought I’d share a few suggestions to enjoy the rest of this sunny season!!

  • Get Refreshed! Take another dip in the pool, lake, ocean, or simply run through the sprinklers!

  • Listen to a good song! Tune into your ipod, mp3, phone, radio, phonograph, cassette or 8 track player! Does anyone have those anymore?!

  • Get together with friends! Facebook, twitter, or any social media doesn’t count! I mean actually a face to face real live visit!

  • Enjoy an ice cream cone! Remember as a kid trying to eat it before the sun melts it all over your face and fingers?!

  • Take a trip! It could be short or long, just get in the car and keep driving until someone asks “Are we there yet?”

  • Go to a Park! Go ahead and swing, see how high you can actually go!!

  • Buy yourself something…yep just for you! Umm how about a nice piece of jewelry! See our “shop” conveniently located on this very website!!

  • Go for a ride! Bicycle or motorcycle you decide, as long as you can feel the wind breeze by you!

  • Read a good book! Pick up (or download) that book you’ve been thinking about reading, even if it is a magazine!!

  • Take in the sun! Don’t forget your spf 15 or spf 50! Just enjoy the rays…not for too long,( if you break out in a sweat you’ve taken in too much!) Breathe in the warm air for a minute then go back to your air conditioned house, car, or office!
