55 Bucket List Activities for Labor Day

Labor Day is known as the unofficial end of summer, so you know what that means – time to review that summer bucket list and make a mad dash to complete whatever is left.

I don’t have a summer bucket list exactly, but I am excited that I will get to check something off my life list over the holiday weekend: riding a horse along the beach. We’re heading out to Amelia Island and Jacksonville to spend a few days exploring and soaking up the sun.

If you don’t have plans or just want to do something bucket-list-worthy this weekend, here’s a list of fun ideas:

1. Kiss underwater. Get some smooching in before the pools close.
