Free things to do in the summer
For my own future reference when I am bored and broke and can't think of anything to do. Repeat as necessary. Some restrictions may apply. (For example, the Botanical Gardens are only free Wed and Sat before noon, and the Omnimax is free because I have a crapload of extra tickets. On the note, let me know if you want to go to the Omnimax.)
On the note so free side, (but still cheap) I insist that a bunch of us go camping this summer. Additionally, I definitely intend to host a dinner party or two. However, I also intend to work 60 hour weeks this summer (new store opens + internship) so we'll see what actually gets done
