Yep, several individuals want their summers to be memorable but don't think out-of-the-box to make them so. If you also belong to this category, worry not, for we've got your back.

#1 - Getaway Gardens

Remember those scenes from the movies wherein the actors visit a secluded garden to find solace? Well, now you can also have that luxury if you make a few tweaks to your own lawn.

If you’re worried this tip would be taxing on your bank account, it’s actually very economical. Just get some twinkle lights, a table, and a chair set from your living room to assemble the sitting area and hang the lights as per your preference. Throw in some cushions, and your getaway garden is ready! Bonus: You can even use this unique setting for alfresco dining!

#2 - Lunar Late-Nights

Many people say summer is all about enjoying the sun, lying down at the beach, taking dips in the pool, and sipping on ice-cold desserts. But those aren't the only things you can do for some fun time. You can even enjoy lunar nights with friends and family.

Instead of having daytime picnics, why not opt for late-night ones? Visit your neighborhood park with a thin cover, a basket full of tasty treats, and some friends to enjoy some family time under the full moon.

#3 - Frankfurter Face-Off

With the National Hot Dog Day just a few months away, there's no better way to celebrate it than challenging your near and dear ones with a Frankfurter face-off.

For starters, ask your neighbors, family members, and friends to come up with the best topping ideas they can think of. It can be anything from gravy, salsa, or simple taco toppings. Once everyone has presented their favorite picks, get some unbiased individuals to do a taste test to declare the lucky winner with the tastiest Frankfurter.
