How are you Staying Cool for the Summer Solstice?

With temperatures nearing 100 degrees, how are you going to beat the heat?

Wednesday marks the official start of summer and it feels like it is already in full swing as the temperatures are near the hundreds. Noaa.gov has the forecast as sunny, with a high near 96, with a heat index value as high as 103. 

With the Summer Solstice bringing the scorching heat, how are you staying cool? Hitting either Long Beach or Short Beach? Going to get italian ices from Ralph's or Uncle Louie G? Maybe some ice cream?

Let us know in the comments, and in this heat please stay safe, hydrated and cool.
