While we’re off for this last sweet week of summer, we thought we’d leave you with a round-up of some of our best ideas for your own summer ramblings, even if those ramblings are just in your head.
For years this gang at the Seattle tubing party has been our role models of the perfect way to party and relax. Though we’d be happy to just float around. (You can buy auto inner tubes here)
While you’re in the water, make some music
Build structures and sculptures out of sand
…or tattoo the beach itself with ephemeral images like Jim Denevan
Balancing rocks is really relaxing
As is making some bubble art with a giant bubble rig (have one delivered)
…or just DAYDREAM what you want to do...
Have a fab, out of control endless night outdoor dinner party
Maybe grill a paella, fish, vegetables or a slab of lamb on a rigged grill …
…and serve a fruit tart for dessert
…maybe emboss the crust with shells …
Why not sleep outdoors SOMEWHERE, even the roof or backyard can be magic
or at least rig a magic space…
Read some books…here are our favorites
Bottom line: spend a lot of time hanging out!!!!

What summer beauty ideas and I want to do them all!. ALL. Here on the left coast south we are nowhere near the last week of summer. This year I am especially jealous of the east coast’s lean into the last week of summer before Labor Day-from here it all seems so timeless and predictable. It will be hot and summer-like here until at least mid October and August has already beat us up! We’re down for the all night dinner party, sleeping anywhere but indoor and more time in the water. Enjoy your last week of summer.
