The month that comes in roaring like a lion and leaves quietly like a lamb is here… March, we’re glad to see you! As with any new month, it’s always nice to have a fresh start, new beginnings, and a list of fun projects and activities to look forward to. In honor of the first day of March and the soon-to-be start of spring, we’ve put together the Ultimate March 2018 Bucket List to help you make the most of your next 31 days! 

1) Fly a Kite: What better month to fly a kite than one with lionlike qualities? March is usually a particularly windy month as winter windsfight against warm spring air, providing you with the perfect opportunities to kite fly! Plus, it gets you outdoors into the sunshine and gives you something different and fun to do! Check out this fellow American-made company for USA made kites.

2) Explore Your City Via a Bike Ride: It’s always nice to take your bike to new places. Use the month of March to research a new bike trail or path to explore neighborhoods or areas in your city you’ve never taken time to see. Break up your ride by stopping along the way at never-before-visited cafes, book stores, and gift shops!

3) Plant Some Flowers: Add some color to your yard with flowers! Be sure to check your local frost predictions prior to planting though.

4) Go Hiking Somewhere Local: Adventure doesn’t have to be hours away. Discover a local trail to explore and spend your day hiking! Find trails via the following links:
