If taking a summer vacation isn’t in your budget this year, you can still have a great time close to home. Play tourist in your own city and discover some unknown corners. No one wants to sit at home all summer so get out, explore and make memories for your online photo galleries!
Everyone loves water, check out local pools, lakes, and rivers for places to swim or just relax near the water. Make a list of all the different places and spend all summer exploring what’s nearby. You can create a web photo album to save all of your pictures. At the end of the summer take a family poll and decide which your favorite was. You may even consider submitting your list and suggestions to your local tourist board to share with visitors.
Are there museums or historical monuments in your city? You probably overlooked them as points of interest but take this opportunity to visit. Learn a little more about local history and have a good time. Some may even offer day camps for kids that are low cost or free. Parks are another great thing to explore. Visit your local and state parks nearby and see what they offer. Pack a picnic and make a day of your adventure.
While you’re rating things why not have an ice cream eating contest? Make a list of all local ice cream parlors or shops that sell ice cream. Then tackle one each week. Vote on your favorite flavors and make notes about what you did or didn’t like. This is a low cost way to spend time together and enjoy a snack. You could do the same thing with restaurants or another local specialty.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money or go far from home to create fun summer memories!
