I still need to do stuff!!

Do you know what the date is? How did it get to be the middle of August already? Though it's been a great summer I feel like I haven't done half of the things I wanted to. Top 5 things I still need to do before summer's done?

1. Scuba lessons - I've wanted to learn forever (almost) and although I can technically do this year round, there no WAY I'm doing my first open water dive in any month that doesn't begin in 'Aug' and end in 'ust' - it takes the entire summer for the water to warm up even a bit and then it quickly plummets again.

2. Road trip down to San Fransisco - ok, well, this probably won't happen as my vacation time left for the summer = 1 day? But it was on my intended list. I've always wanted to check out the city and I heart roadtrips! I'll probably have to settle for some shopping in Seattle (not that that's a bad thing :)

3. Head to the Okanagan to drink some wine, errr..visit some wineries. I've been in BC for 2 years now and still haven't made the stop over to the interior - shameful. It only takes a weekend, so I'm thinking early September will still be nice.

4. Beach BBQ. I think I had all of about 50 last summer and this summer? None! What! I know. This will be accomplished tomorrow. Promise.

5. Head the PNE - Pacific National Exhibition (carnival). Ok, so I'm not behind on this one as it only starts this weekend but I'm really excited for it. Can't wait for the music (the Beach Boys!), to ride the old fashioned wooden roller coaster again, and eat all the food so characteristic of a carnival. The PNE is a great transition to fall..eeep.
