This is honestly the best time of year to be living in the city. The weather has finally thawed, we’re waking up to sunshine and blue skies almost everyday, and everyone is smiling more! That’s what this time of year is all about, being happy and spending all your time outdoors.

In a few weeks we’re going to be entering full blown summer mode and I know we all literally cannot wait. We all deserve to soak up the sunshine this summer and this adventure is perfect for that!
