School is out (or almost!), the sun is shining and I am ready to kick off my favorite season with the top 10 events for the weekend. It’s also the season of free: free outdoor movies, free concerts and free festivals. Time to put on some sunscreen and head outside for fun in the sun.

Speaking of fun in the sun (and sunscreen), I’m also dreaming of my next beach vacation, and this family-friendly slice of paradise just climbed to the top of my list. And for more sunny playtime, head to the playground of the week (which has a gorgeous view on a blue-sky day). See you outside!
