The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming! Who wants to stay inside? There are so many activities to take advantage of during the summer. You just need to decide on your mood. Are you ready to get moving or would you rather relax and enjoy the day?
GET MOVING
Garden
There is still time to plant a few herbs for summer meals or transform your backyard into a relaxing retreat.
Golf
There are ways to enjoy the game of golf without having to mortgage your house. You can find courses with rates as little as $15. If you are new to the sport, borrow clubs from a friend or rent the first few times before deciding if golf is the sport for you.
Tennis
No need for an expensive tennis club. Grab a friend and hit the local high school after hours or on the weekend. If you don't have your own racquet, you can borrow one or buy used at a place like Play It Again Sports.
Horse Back Riding
When was the last time you rode a horse? Horses can be rented for as little as $35 for a two hour session. Ask about early bird specials and other discounts.
Bike
Find a place you have never been to and explore it on two wheels.
RELAX AND ENJOY
Wine Tasting
There are wine regions throughout the United States. Spend an afternoon exploring the countryside and tasting the best of the wines in your area.
Beach Combing
Head to the beach and revel in the feeling of sand between your toes. If you are landlocked, spending time next to a river or lake can be just as enjoyable.
Festivals
The food festival season is in full swing. Whether it’s in celebration of garlic, asparagus or chocolate, check out the festivals in your neighborhood.
Garden Home Tours
Get inspiration for your own garden by taking a garden home tour. Most cities offer tours once or twice a year. Check your local paper.
Read
One of the best ways to enjoy a summer day is sitting outside with a drink in one hand and a book in the other.
