5 Things You MUST do for Summer

Doesn't it seem like just yesterday you were throwing out the 2014 calendar and stressing about Valentines day?  Time sure flies when life is busy... dont let summer slip through your fingers this year.  Want to make it a summer to remember?  Here are our TOP 5 WAYS TO MAKE SUMMER AWESOME:

1. Camp at Yosemite.  Its America's iconic National Park for a reason, the scenery alone justifies a trip here, but bump up the fun a level and while you're there try floating the Merced River, hiking Half Dome or try horseback riding in the backcountry.  Want to go without out pre-planning or all the logistical hassle?  Check out our annual Memorial Day Yosemite Trip here!
2. Road trip the Coast.  We love the iconic HW1- and know you do too.  Extend the fun by taking Friday off and make it a true road trip.  Pro tip: Overnight in Morro Bay and wake up early for mouthwatering beachside pancakes at Frankie & Lola's Cafe.
3. Explore the Sierra's.  Tahoe isnt just for snow! The Sierra's come alive in the summer with perfect weather, great recreations opportunities and lots of lakefront fun!  New to Tahoe?  Try a beginners backpacking trip to hidden alpine lakes.
4. Fairs, festivals & music. Everybody loves a good festival!  Whether its the Bottle Rock Concerts in Napa, Stern Grove in SF, 4th of July in Santa Cruz or that wacky Solstice Bonfire in Big Sur... get your blanket, flask & headlamp for some great summertime fun!
5. Houseboat on Lake Shasta. Close out the best summer ever with your very own floating summer home.  Complete with hot tubs, water slides & jet-skis... these giant boats let you and 30 of your friends celebrate the end of summer in style.  Learn how to houseboat like a pro here.
