I’m not going to miss much, my favorite parts of the year are fall and spring, so I’m really excited to see the cooler weather and the falling leaves :)

OAR is my fav! You had a super busy and very exciting summer! I wish mine was half that fun :)

Holly @ couchpotatoathlete September 1, 2010 at 1:13 pm

Tina you have definitely had a busy summer! I’m sure you’ll find plenty to do this Fall.

I looked at your “kitchen of the year” post, have you been watching (the designer) Jeff Lewis’ show on Bravo? I think he is just hilarious.

Tina September 1, 2010 at 1:14 pm

I’m going to miss the fresh fruit and vacations. You sure had one amazing summer! Here’s to an awesome fall for both of us.

Jessica @ How Sweet September 1, 2010 at 1:14 pm

I am very excited for Fall, but I think I will miss the delicious summer foods!

Such a busy summer – that was a fun recap!

Kaitlyn (College Girl Runs) September 1, 2010 at 1:17 pm

What an awesome summer recap! I’m going to miss the weather and the laid-back-ness of the summer! And all the fresh fruits and veggies that are in season!

Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin September 1, 2010 at 1:18 pm

Wow I’d say you’ve accomplished quite a bit in the summer and had a lot of fun!

I’m going to miss watermelon and peaches! :)

Alyssa September 1, 2010 at 1:20 pm

Wow, you’ve really had an amazing, busy summer! You need a vacation from all of those vacations!

Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman September 1, 2010 at 1:20 pm

You’ve had a ridiculously busy summer. I’m most going to miss the drop in traffic that happens around DC in the summer thanks to government workers getting off.

Freya (Brit Chick Runs) September 1, 2010 at 1:22 pm

Woah you’ve done a lot!
I’m going to miss the spare time – I’ve loved having the summer off this year, and I’m dreading going back to uni :(

Reply

Heather @ Side of Sneakers September 1, 2010 at 1:25 pm

I’m going to miss everybody’s laid back attitude- people just tend to be calmer in the summer! I’m not going to miss the 100 degree weather- bring on Fall!!! :)

Mary (What's Cookin' with Mary) September 1, 2010 at 1:26 pm

Hmmm… the thing I’ll miss most about summer… Probably BBQ’s on the back porch with friends (with no coats hehe) or happy hour out on the patio of one of our favorite bars (read: close to home).

I love, love, love when we can eat outside and not infront of the tv or computer screen ;)

Laurab@ foodsnobstl September 1, 2010 at 1:27 pm

Longer days! And watermelon.

Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine September 1, 2010 at 1:27 pm

Wow, you really have had quite the summer!! The thing I always miss most about the summer is the weather. There’s nothing like summer at my parents’ house in Pennsylvania!!

Reply

VeggieGirl September 1, 2010 at 1:32 pm

FANTASTIC recap! What I’ll miss most about summer = my recent trip to NYC (which I’m in the middle of recapping, on my blog). So sorry we weren’t in the city at the same time though! :(

Reply

Emily @ The Happy Home September 1, 2010 at 1:34 pm

that’s quite the re-cap!

honestly, i feel like my summer was a bit of a bust this year. but no worries! i’m heading into my favorite time of year (fall, winter, and the holidays). that’s where all of my fun stuff happens!

i started reading your blog at the beginning of this summer, so it was really cool to see this! thanks!

Lauren at KeepItSweet September 1, 2010 at 1:36 pm

I am definitely going to miss the way everyone is so much more relaxed during summer. However, I am looking forward to my weekend travel schedule calming down!

Reply

Estela @ Weekly Bite September 1, 2010 at 1:38 pm

What an exciting summer you’ve had! I’m going to miss drinking ice cold white wine on our front porch!

Reply

Stacey September 1, 2010 at 1:41 pm

Wow! You had a busy summer!! But at least it was filled with fun stuff, right ;)
I’ll miss not having school..ugh, but this is my last semester and then I graduate in December..so I just have to make it a little longer :D
PS. That’s so AWESOME that you did fitness videos for Fitness Magazine!!!!

Kylie @ A Hungry Spoon September 1, 2010 at 1:43 pm

Love the summer re-cap! It’s wonderful you got to travel and see so many parts of the country.

Although fall is my favorite season, there’s lots to miss about summer: flip-flops, grilling/cook-outs, sunsets that don’t start ’til almost 9pm, and of course walking to the ice cream shop!

Sami September 1, 2010 at 1:48 pm

i love your black dress in the nyc picture! where did you find such cuteness?!

Reply

The Peanut Butter Addict September 1, 2010 at 1:49 pm

Wow, that is the most packed summer I’ve ever seen! Everything looks so fun too. The thing I’ll miss most is definitely the heat. Even after living in Canada for almost 20 years, I’m still not a fan of winter/cold!

Reply

Andrea September 1, 2010 at 1:53 pm

You look awesome in that green dress!

Jasmine @ Eat Move Write September 1, 2010 at 1:57 pm

I love summer, but fall is my favorite. Summer in Cali is fun, though, because there’s an energy in the air like none other.

Your summer looked so fun! :)

The Wife of a Dairyman September 1, 2010 at 1:58 pm

It seems the busier you are, the faster time flies! Summer has been fun and I am so looking forward to the fall. I live in northern CA and it’s Harvest time which means Harvest festivals and wine tasting…Yea!

Reply

Lauren September 1, 2010 at 1:58 pm

Seems like your summer was a blast! It’s so great you can be involved in so many things.
I’ll miss the “fun” in the air that summer has. I associate summer with good times, I suppose I’m still hardwired from having summers off as a kid!
(PS I love the comments font, do you know the name of it?)

@Lauren: I don’t. Sorry. Feel free to ask my web guys! :)

I’m going to miss being at home all the time with my dog.

Morgan @ Life After Bagels September 1, 2010 at 2:11 pm

Hey I called my post today the same thing! Great minds think alike don’t they :)

The thing I’ll miss most is all my vacation time from work. Luckily I got to travel a lot and do some awesome things, but now it’s back to my regularly scheduled work days for the rest of the year. Summer is the best time to take vacation of course so I’m happy I used it all up!

Reply

Kelly September 1, 2010 at 2:11 pm

You certainly had a jam packed summer! I can’t believe it’s over so fast!

Reply

Michelle @ Turning Over a New Leaf September 1, 2010 at 2:11 pm

I’m honestly not going to miss a thing. My summers aren’t different from any other season of the year, except I sweat more and get branded by my seat belt.

Reply

Leah September 1, 2010 at 2:31 pm

I’m going to miss all of the vacation time I get (university summer schedules are the best thing ever), going to the beach every weekend, and having Boston ALL.TO.MYSELF.

Now all the students and their parents are taking over my city! I want it back! I was here first! lol

Caitlin (EatFeats) September 1, 2010 at 2:40 pm

You are one busy lady! This summer was a little blah (and COLD) for me, so I’m looking forward to warmer Fall weather!

Liz @ Blog is the New Black September 1, 2010 at 2:41 pm

I miss hanging out with my kids everyday. Now I am just ready for fall!

Reply

Amber K September 1, 2010 at 2:57 pm

Not going to miss much really. It was nice for the break from work, but I enjoy chatting with my coworkers and being around the kids so I’m excited for it to start back up!

elyssa September 1, 2010 at 2:57 pm

my daily dose of 20 mins of sun time. winter in canada comes too early!

Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday September 1, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Summer’s not quite over, so I’m still enjoying the weather. 1 more month of this sun and heat!

Beth @ DiningAndDishing September 1, 2010 at 3:02 pm

I’ll mostly miss my summer living in downtown DC. I’ve lived there for a year and a half but just relocated out to MD to save some cash. I am looking forward to my new place but I’ll miss frolicking in the city all summer! :)

Laura @ Backstage Pass to Health & Happiness September 1, 2010 at 3:13 pm

Looks like you had a fun summer. Your smile in those photos is gorgeous, like you are having the time of your life!

Reply

Jess September 1, 2010 at 3:14 pm

I’M GOING TO MISS THE LONG DAYS AND WARM NIGHTS. I’M ALSO GOING TO MISS THE GYM NOT BEING SO CROWDED. EVER SINCE SCHOOL STARTED THAT PLACE IS PACKED!

Reply

The Healthy Apple September 1, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Sounds like a great summer, Tina… Happy Fall!

Reply

Cynthia (It All Changes) September 1, 2010 at 3:15 pm

I miss the bit of care-free-ness that comes with my job in the Summer. I have a ton of work still but I can go on my own pace. Once September hits all heck breaks loose and I am go, go, go until January.

But I’m not going to miss the heat. This summer was BRUTAL. My electric bill for the AC won’t let me forget.

Reply

Heather September 1, 2010 at 3:18 pm

wow you did so much this summer!
I am going to miss it getting dark out late. i HATE when it gets dark at 5:00!

Reply

katherine September 1, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Wow you have been busy! Im back in school so i already miss not having homework. Being in LA the weather doesnt ger cold and the fall has some of the best beach weather so i am excited for fall!

Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] September 1, 2010 at 3:52 pm

Wow, you had 1 busy summer!

Reply

Katie (Sweets and Veggies) September 1, 2010 at 3:54 pm

WOAH!! You’ve done so many fun and entertaining things over the summer! I’m probably going to miss my opportunities to go to the beach, working, and my high school friends and family. Going back to school sure is a lot of work but I’m definitely excited for the school year to be back in full swing!
