Making Summer Last LongerOh, those bittersweet, waning days of summer—the sun sinking lower in the sky, stray leaves already starting to turn. Wasn’t it just yesterday that you broke out the barbecue and your favorite beach chair? But take heart, summer-lovers: the water’s still warm, the grill is still hot, and the season’s not over yet. So slather on the sunblock and grab your flip-flops—here are some ideas to make your summer last forever:

• Rent a convertible
• Have a scoop
• Ride a roller coaster
• Kick off your shoes
• Read a book on the beach
• Eat a burger
• Hop on a bike
• Plan a picnic
• Take a hike
