Feeling bored with the daily grind? Change it up this weekend and give yourself a little break from your normal routine. You don't have to go far, there are tons of things you probably have never even done in your own town. Branch out, be a tourist for a day and go exploring. Need some ideas?
Check Out Groupon
Groupon has tons of amazing deals to help you get out and do something you have never done before. From pole dancing classes to spa days, Groupon always has great ideas for a great price.
See A Show
Not a movie, but an actual theatre performance is something that isnt normally on the weekend checklist. Seeing a play is something different, and they are so much fun to go to! Check around your area for theaters and scheduling
Internet
Check out your areas general tourism website, most places have one. Usually these websites will list tons of things to do in your town, some that you may never have heard of.
Shopping
Instead of heading to the mall, search around for shopping areas you havent been to before. For example, instead of your usual trek to the mall, try scoping out some cute vintage stores or local boutiques...Your guaranteed to find something exciting!
Road Trip
Take a small drive to a town nearby you may never have been to before. It doesnt have to be far, maybe an hour max. Where i live, there isnt much around but after some online digging, I found this quaint little historic town with tons of adorable shops and restaurants. It was something new and fun, and only an hour away!
Bed & Breakfast
Single or attached, a bed and breakfast is a great idea for a weekend getaway. Get pampered, relax, and just take some time to yourself, or with your significant other. Getting away, no matter where you go, will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world come Monday.
Museum
This can sound cliche, but honestly, museums are fun and can be a great way to spice up your routine a bit. Check out a museum in your area that you haven't been to.
Take A Class
Check around at your local community college for a fun course for adults. Always had an interest in taking pictures? Try a beginner photography course. Like to dance? Many community colleges offer adult dance classes like ballroom, swing, hip hop, and more. Taking a class is a great way to learn something new, meet new people, and give yourself something different to look forward to.
Meetup
This is a cool website where people in your area who share a common interest, meet up and hang out. I love photography, and have a hard time meeting other people who share that same passion. Meetup.com is a great way to meet other people in my area who enjoy the same things as I do. Even if you don't have a lot of spare time, meeting up with a group once a month is still a great way to escape and mingle with people you can have great conversation with! As always, use caution when using the internet to meet up with people. Meetup.com is a trustworthy site, but there are always creeps. Make sure the group you choose has lots of members with a trusted mission.
Hopefully these ideas will get the wheels in your brain turning, and you'll be able to find some great new things to do this weekend. When your busy, and having fun, your going to feel better about your weekend, kind of like taking a break from your normal life. You will also be more ready for all Monday has to bring :)
