Shannon: This weekend went by way too quickly and had me wondering when a long, extended vacation would be in line. So, TJ and I hit the internet searching for the perfect destination for the summer. Our brainstorming lead us to Hawaii, a little road tripping around California (Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, and possibly Napa), or another tropical destination such as Cabo (likely not though given the storms they are having) or the Bahamas. Where exactly we will end up is the million dollar question. Not able to wait that long though, Allison and I booked a little “Sister Night” at one of our favorite desert spots The Parker. So… as the weekend comes to an end, the planning process for future fun picks up!

We spent Sunday lounging by the pool and the fact that the swimming suits were used was a friendly reminder that summer is a mere two weeks away. Be sure to check out this week’s Women’s Health Weekend Challenge!

We’re working on our summer bucket list, but we have already included lots of time outside in the sun! Loving this adorable picnic basket, turkish towel, and rubber ducky raft for those lazy summer days! And if a cold soda or beer is your thing, check out this adorable drink sleeve!
