Summer Southern Doins

by Lisa in In The Office on June 23, 2014

Perhaps more than even sweet tea and seersucker, the South is known for its summers! They may be hot, humid, and mosquito-y, but they’re also pretty darn magical–the long days and sunshine lend themselves perfectly to enjoying everything the South has to offer. Our Summer Doins checklist from last year was such a success, we decided to bring it back for 2014, and we hope you’ll print it off, stick it to your fridge, and then get outside and have some fun!

You can download a printable copy here! We have a little office competition going to see who can cross off the most, and we’re excited to try new things and revisit old favorites. A few of our best memories from last year included floating down a river, relaxing at the beach, making fried green tomatoes, and taking a road trip!

Which doin’ will you be starting with? Use the hashtag #SouthernDoin so we can follow along on your adventures!
