The unofficial start of summer.
As Clevelanders, our Memorial Day weekends can be a mix of several weather elements - rain, cloudy, 50 degrees or 80+ degrees, as we all got to experience this weekend. After the insanely long winter filled with polar vortex after polar vortex, I was ridiculously happy to soak in all the sun rays and be outside from afternoon to night without a jacket on.
Even though I was happy, I still complained I was sweating on Press's patio with friends on Saturday and we cursed our local weather anchors because they lied! Sixty-five degrees, no way! I have the sunburnt shoulders and chest to prove it.

The weather continued to work in our favor with a breezy 80+ degrees through the holiday. Even though, we were still complaining that we were sweating while laying at Whiskey Island, I came up with a list of summer activities to check off my list.

Friends, my brother stretching and not a cloud in the sky |
Well, maybe not a long list of activities but still, I already have 6 weeks planned so squeezing these in should be no problem. I hope......
- Put-in-Bay trip
- Rent a boat and jet skis for the afternoon
- Spend the afternoon at East Harbor Beach reading amazingly awful beach reads
- Friday night Indians game
- Scheduling a date for my Real Housewives Book Club with friends
Better hydrate - it's going to be a busy summer!
