The 2018 Summer Bucket List

Every summer, I write up a bucket list of things I want to accomplish or try by the season's end. Here's this year's list:):

1. Use those Kennywood/Sandcastle season passes like a boss. 
2. Lunch at Everyday Noodles.
3. Take the kids to show them how to work a pinball machine.  
4. Actually GO to the Drive In rather than just say we're going to go to the Drive In. 
5. Go for a night swim. 
6. Take a weird vacation to see Salem and the House of the Seven Gables. 
7. Go to the movies at Row House Cinema in Lawrenceville. 
8. Read and finish the following books: The Merry Spinster, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, (re-read) It, Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America, Wild, and Neverworld Wake.  
9. Send in two essays for publication. 
10. Clean and organize the entire house. 
11. Repaint girls' rooms. 
12. Get ice cream at Klavon's. 
13. Watch movies (with Maggie especially), including Kong: Skull Island, Karate Kid (old and new), The Lost Boys, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, Poltergeist, and The Stepford Wives. 
14. Lunch at the Riv. 
15. Make cool stuff with Sophie at the Three Rivers Arts Fest. 

That's all folks. What are your big summer plans? ~Jess
