Even though we are already midway through the summer, Jedbot {the bf} had asked me to illustrate a list of places to visit and things to do for the rest of the summer. I love that he finds creative ways to motivate me to sketch! It's super cool that he makes sure I practice as much as possible :) We've been on a lot of trips and spontaneous outings together and on the many adventures we've been on were a lot of first time experiences for me too.. It's been so fun and memorable! So I was excited when he asked me to come up with ideas to present to him. I decided to list and illustrate five places I haven't been to along with things I haven't tried.
1. hiking at santa ynes falls
okay so i have hiked here before with my bestie jessica and loved it. but i want jedbot to experience this! it's definitely more nature-y than runyon canyon; lots of trees, shade, a tiny waterfall, a nice breeze, scary juicy bugs, with a little bit of rock climbing. there is also a beautiful garden on the way there where people meditate.. very zen.
2. watch a movie at the silent movie theatre
a touristy thing to do in hollywood. we drive by this place all the time and always see a long line of people outside.. we've never seen a silent movie in a theatre before, so why not?
3. ride bikes and discover things
{note to self: buy one first}
one of my biggest goals this summer was to buy a bike for burning man and was worried i wouldn't be able to find a used one that i wasn't going to like... but i did! just last week! and it's perfect...
and now we can both go take our bikes to our favorite beach - hermosa, and go on adventures! the last time i owned a bike was probably over ten years ago. so finding a bike like this makes this summer a bit more special to me :)
4. visit catalina island
i hear a lot of talk about this place and how beautiful it is.. i've never been there believe it or not. jedbot says he'd take me one day. people go fishing there too! mMmm, i've never gone fishing before either.. i'd love to do that too! i want to be able to catch my own fish and eat it too {one of my goals in life}.
5. ride in a hot air balloon
as a kid i used to see a lot of hot air balloons floating outside my window around my house during the summer. i've always imagined what it would be like being high up in the air under a colorful balloon.. i've always wanted to do that. again, something i've never done!
---
I'm hoping to be able to cross out all five things on my list before the end of summer! {i'm sure i will!}
do you have a list of fun things to do?!
