Do you take advantage of all the opportunities you have to get outside and enjoy the scenery? If not, you are missing out on some fun times.

With that being the case, whether you have fun stuff to do right near home or have to travel a bit, don’t sit at home on the couch. If you do, you will wonder about all the fun things you could be doing.

So, are you ready to get outside and enjoy all there is to offer?

Putting Your Plans in Place

In deciding what to do when you head outside, keep these ideas in mind:

1. Going for a walk – Can it get much simpler than a good walk? Not only do you get to take in the different scenery around you, but you are also doing your body good in the process. Even a 30-minute walk can help clear your mind and do wonders for your body. If there is nothing immediate in your area that appeals to you for a walk, hop in the car and go to a local park or nature trail. The main thing is that you get outside and enjoy the time.
2. Going to a baseball game – What can be more fun than a day at the ballpark with family or friends? For many baseball fans, traveling to different parks over time is on their bucket list. Whether you decide to hit many ballparks or stick to one or only a few, take in the fun. From cheering on your team to getting lost in conversation with others, you will hit a home run with this call.
3. Going out on the ocean – Have you ever gone whale watching before? If not, this can prove to be an exhilarating experience. Seeing these large mammals only feet away will be something you will not forget anytime soon. Before heading out on the boat, do some research on whales. Get to learn how they migrate up and down the California coast. Before you know it, you will be an expert on these amazing creatures and others they share the ocean with.
4. Going for a drive – While you may spend a lot of time in the vehicle during the week, take a fun drive for a change. Hopping in the car on a weekend day and getting out on the roads can be a nice change of pace. If you live along a coast, think about driving close to the ocean so you can take in some of the scenery. In the event the mountains are nearby, a trip there can be quite relaxing too.
5. Going to see some history – No matter where you live, there is some history to catch up on. With that in mind, do some research and then head out. Whether you live in your home for a short time or many years, it is good to know what is around you. You might find surprise to know how old your neighborhood is.
