Summer: This Or That

 

 

 

 I got inspired by my blogging friend Jen to do this fun little summer-themed "This Or That"...here goes nothing!

 

Beach Or Mountains

 

BEACH all the way...my happy place...the ocean brings me peace and pure joy...get there as often as I can! 

 

 

 

Travel Or Stay-Cation

 

I say travel...now I also will tell you that there is no better place to be in the summer than New England but even when we travel to a New England beach town for a few days, I consider that travel.  This summer, our travel will be BIG :)

 

Ocean or Lake

 

Ocean all the way BUT I do love our time up at Lake Winnipesaukee with our dear friends.  I treasure those times and the beauty of the lake for sure!  I also love the time we spend with them boating.

 

 

 

Sunscreen or Tanning Lotion 

 

 

I know I should say sunscreen but if you have been following for awhile then you know I am a sun worshiper- it is a bad habit I know especially since I have had various growths removed.  I also see my dermatologist twice/year just to stay on top of everything 

 

 

 

Ice Cream or Slush

 

Ice Cream for sure- don't do it often but over the summer, I love to find a place, especially when we are away in a beach town, that has homemade ice cream and I will pick a super summery flavor and my favorite of all time was a Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream I tried in Kennebunkport Maine.

 

 

 

Early Mornings Or Late Nights

 

Always early mornings but especially in the summer...there is something so peaceful about early morning sunshine...hearing the bugs and birds (from a distance of course) and seeing sprinklers turn on...it is the promise of a hot summer day and there is nothing better!  I also love being up at the crack of dawn as I feel like I am getting a head start on the day!

 

 Camping Or Pool Party

I would have to say a pool party though we did enjoy our "glamping" when we did that for a few summers

 

 

 Sundress Or Overalls

Sundress for sure- have always been a big fan of dresses!

 

 

Water Balloons or Slip N Slide

 

My girls have loved Slip N Slide and I LOVED it as a kid :) 

 

 

 

Suntan or Swimming

 

Swimming because I love the water AND you can suntan at the same time - ha!
