Spring break is quickly creeping up on us and even if you didn’t plan that trip to Cancun this year there’s plenty of fun things to do without having to book a flight.
Go on a road trip
All you need is a reliable vehicle and a destination in mind. A set destination isn’t even necessary, you can just see where the road takes you- just make sure you have a GPS on hand! Even if you just make it a day trip with some good friends any place you go can be a good time.
Skyzone
Recently these indoor trampoline parks have been growing more popular and have opened up in more locations. For a low cost, depending on how long you want to stay, you have access to all different kinds of trampoline themed actives and of course there is plenty of free space jumping. Not only is this a cure to boredom but will also give you a work out!
Movie Marathon
Rent a few of your favorite movies or watch something new. Grab some Ben and Jerrys, pop some popcorn and sit back and relax. You can easily rent a variety of movies without having to leave your house on Netflix, online or on On-Demand.
Crafting
Its easy to make inexpensive decorations or gifts by doing some crafts, and this is also a fun group activity. Theres plenty of places to get materials such as Joanne Fabrics, Michaels or even Walmart. Some ideas are painting mason jars, making a scrapbook or a collage on a bulletin board.
Volunteer
Theres plenty of opportunities everywhere to volunteer, such as in soup kitchens, food drives or in animal shelters. Not only would this be a good experience but you would be giving back to the community.
Visit an Animal Shelter
Take a trip to the nearest MSPCA, not only can you look but in most cases you can play with the animals. Theres usually plenty of lonely cats and dogs who would love some attention. You might end up taking home a new friend.
Cook
Its fun to eat but it’s even better when its homemade! Watch the cooking channel to get some ideas or go online and replicate a recipe exactly. Even if you don’t have skills in the kitchen if you follow a recipe it’s likely it will come out the way its suppose to.
Nature Walks
Go to your nearest park or woods and do some exploring. Walking is good exercise but leisurely at the same time. It’s a good way to get out of your house and get some fresh air.
City Trip
If you live in the city or somewhere close, spend the day there. There is always something going on and you can see some sights. Treat yourself and take yourself out to lunch or go on a little date, even if its just with your friends.
You don’t need to fly anywhere to have some fun over spring break. Whether you’re doing these actives alone or with some friends they will surely cure any boredom.
