Summer Struck || Response blog #5

Every time I think of the summer I get mini-butterflies of excitement. Reading Sabrina’s Summer on my mind! realy had me having summer on my mind….thinking about the warmth, summer-dresses, beach trips, bikini’s, shades I can go on and on.
Warm weather just naturally goes with the need to be outside and preferably (if you live in a city) some waterfront or rooftop bars.

I’m originally from Amsterdam, where during warm weather I loved taking a stroll along the canals (night or day) with a friend(s) and some chocolate ice cream. Alternatively if you don’t want to walk, of course there is also the boat rides through the canals with a quick overview through the city of Amsterdam. On my 21st birthday I had me and my friends picked up from a restaurant and drove to Haagen-Dazs in a limo, got a couple of Brownie Obsession ice cream sundae’s sundaeand just drove through the city. That’s not something you can do every day (unless you’re Diddy), but definitely a nice one-time experience.

My favorite sun-fun day spots in and around DC would have to be the Baltimore National Harbor and the rooftop at the W hotel in DC and Ibiza nightclub. I just like the metropolitan feel at the harbor and I think downtown Baltimore is beautiful. The W is grown and sophisticated and a nice view on DC. The rooftop at Ibiza is very cozy with couches in corners, a bar, music…a great place unwind in the summer.
