5 Things To Do This Summer

Summer is my favorite season by far but as quickly as it comes it goes. So it is extremely important to savor ever minute of this beautiful season. During the summer many people like to have barbeques and go on vacation. Here are 5 things you can do to get the most of your summer…

Hang out by the River

When people think of summer the word beach usually comes to mind but in Harrisburg we have the privilage of being near Susquehanna River. Go there and participate in one of the many activities or just relax for a nice day out with people you love.

Eat a Popsicle

Channel your inner child and eat a Popsicle. While you’re at it, eat three or four — or the whole box(well maybe not the whole box). Popsicles are usually pretty low in calories and aren’t much more than frozen fruit juice. It’s a great way to cool off on a hot day.

Get a (Natural) Tan

Why spend all that money on fake tans and tanning memberships. It costs too much and you will get a much better looking glow from the real sun. Although you can get too much of a good thing, don’t worry about the sun’s damaging effects — wear sunscreen and just go for that sun-kissed glow.

Attend a Summer Concert

Many really big artist are touring this year but if you want something local check out  Central Pennsylvania Friends of Jazz  and find a concert near the river.  You can also attend Harrisburg’s internationally known symphony orchestra.

Educate Yourself

School is out for summer but that doesn’t mean you have to stop learning. Visit John Harris Mansion to discover three centuries of history plus three floors of archaeology, history and art, and a star-gazer’s heavenly planetarium. They offer free guided tours so stop by today!
