D.C., the whole family to Disney World, and lots more. In general, I love summer fireworks, ice cream and BBQs.LSUReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551147044529756940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039433633004117569.post-86213305560519541452011-01-22T03:33:05.307+08:002011-01-22T03:33:05.307+08:00Oops...

LOL!<br /><br />Sand between my toes with a book in hand is THE most therapeutic time out I can ever take. Thank goodness I am brown and don't burn easily.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for the great post!!♫♥✿Chas @ LovLivLife Reviews✿♥♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/14305411158834256852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039433633004117569.post-35904651954022200212011-01-22T03:29:07.163+08:002011-01-22T03:29:07.163+08:00Dating my now hubby was a mix of ocean activities-...Dating my now hubby was a mix of ocean activities- paddling, wake boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, etc- hiking, sports, running, deep sea fishing..... plenty of outdoor stuff that's common with Summer. Where I live it's hard to stay in doors and with great year around weather there is always something going down. <br /><br />My most favortie memory was a birthday past. My husband, bf at the time, and friends took a 25 footer out in the deep ocean to go fishing. I wasn't much good with a pole but hubby took his time and paid close attention to me. We came home loaded with fish to prepare for the evening Bday festivities. It's a great memory of mine because it showed me how well we worked as a team and how patient he can be. It was a great time and we enjoyed many more of the same trips there after!!!=)♫♥✿Chas @ LovLivLife Reviews✿♥♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/14305411158834256852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039433633004117569.post-77255811614746784642011-01-20T12:04:03.192+08:002011-01-20T12:04:03.192+08:00When we were younger, hubby and I would take the k...When we were younger, hubby and I would take the kids for walks in the park and to the playground. Later, we'd get my sis to babysit the tired kids so we could sneak out for dinner and drink and have some alone time.

I grew up north of Niagara Falls and the Town of Lewiston always set off fireworks from Artpark that would go over the river. This being the bicentennial the fireworks were double the norm. My guy and I (we were all of 14) were on a blanket holding hands watching the display. It's just one of those innocent sweet things you remember.<br /><br />Can't wait for the books Cynthia :).<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway. <br /><br />vsloboda(at)gmail(dot)comVictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12151925613539384949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039433633004117569.post-4520278632324657782011-01-18T00:22:56.045+08:002011-01-18T00:22:56.045+08:00Well....I got married in the summer. =) On the bea...Well....I got married in the summer. =) On the beach right at sunset. It was beautiful and romantic. And then we went on a cruise for our honeymoon and that was fabulous. Can't beat hanging out on beautiful islands with clear blue water and laying around in the sun drinking fruity drinks. <br /><br />Now summer needs to hurry up and get here, this cold is not doing it for me. LoL Even in Florida it is freezing! <br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway Cynthia, I love your books.<br />folksohana(at)gmail(dot)comCrystal @ RBtWBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452361936625217579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039433633004117569.post-20638215396101643162011-01-17T23:48:23.869+08:002011-01-17T23:48:23.869+08:00My favorite summer memories are just chillin on th...My favorite summer memories are just chillin on the deck with an ice cold beer or iced tea and a good book.

My favorite summer memory is when my husband and I were up North at our camper. We decided in the middle of the night to take a boat ride. We went out to the middle of the lake and laid on the floor of the boat. The stars were spectacular that night, a whole sky of them!!! We laid there for hours and talked about everything and anything. It was really romantic and great time spent together.Leaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09056966889698431877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039433633004117569.post-58310888796294833532011-01-17T22:49:06.768+08:002011-01-17T22:49:06.768+08:00Taylor, I love summer nights like that!

But we ended up reconnecting the following summer of 2000. I clearly remember him picking me up in his shiny black truck (with neons and a stereo system b/c that was uber cool back then)and going for ice cream at this tiny stand in this tiny town next to ours. We sat on a wooden bench and ate as slowly as we could so we didn't have an excuse to leave. We were there for 2 hours and our ice cream turned to soup, but the main thing was we talked....about everything. And we've been together ever since. Every year we go back to that little stand, now with our two kids, and sit on that bench and have ice cream. The kids don't know but I look at the hubby and WE know. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039433633004117569.post-26266111137511520392011-01-17T22:12:21.996+08:002011-01-17T22:12:21.996+08:00It's true, summer does equal romance.

They go hand in hand like ice cream and a hot summer day. <br /><br />When I was a little younger and still lived in california I would go to the beach with my boyfriend, as the sun was going down and the sand was getting cool. At first we would be warm because the sun would still be up and just hold hands while walking along the beach getting our feet wet in the water. <br /><br />But as the sun went down and we sat on the beach, we would cuddle closer, trying to stay warm and listen to the waves as they crashed over the sand on the beach.<br /><br />I miss going to the beach now that I live in las Vegas. <br /><br />miztik_rose@yahoo.comMary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.com
