There are 365 days and 52 weekends
in a year. Even if you are short on time off, you can still take weekend
getaways. Does that count as a vacation? Of course it does. – Anita Kaltenbaugh
A
picture is a poem without words. - Horace
As discussed last week, the author like
many Millennials has determined that she would rather spend her time and money
on experiences instead of material items.
During these unique times, it is important to still engage in adventures
and think outside the box for these experiences. They do not have to be expensive or take a
lot of time. Millennials, like the
author, want these adventures to grow them and create memories that will last a
lifetime.
You don't take a photograph, you
make it. - Ansel Adams
The author loves the beach and that will
always be her favorite. However, her
adventures in state parks, museums, etc. have developed her character and created
memories. These memories have provided
many conversational opportunities and challenged her thinking.
Here are some inexpensive ideas for the
reader to contemplate engaging in during the fall and winter seasons:
· Go hiking in a state or national park
· Take a walk near a lake or the ocean and embrace the calming water movements
· Read outside with the beautiful fall leaves on the trees
· Shop at a local farmer’s market
· Visit a museum or historical site
· Play a round of golf…18 holes or miniature
· Travel to a nearby town and experience its culture
A couple years ago, the author was trying
to find adventures in the Virginia/D.C. area.
While researching online, she found a website that has weekend activities
including museum openings or special exhibits, monuments and special events for
the weekend. Each Friday, the author
reviews the website to determine if there are any adventures, she wants to take
that weekend.
ACTION: Take 15
minutes to research and write a list of ideas that are inexpensive that will
allow you to create new memories.
