Ideas For A Weekend Getaway

[Kateri89]

I'm just too overwhelmed and frustrated with my job situation these days and I'm off this weekend so I feel like going somewhere for the weekend that's not more than 2-3 hours away.  It'll most likely just be me as all of my friends seem to be working or are out of town...any ideas?  I know it's hard since I haven't disclosed where I live but just general ideas of relaxing activities that I can do alone?  I'm not going to want to sit in the hotel room all day although I wouldn't mind relaxing in the hot tub for awhile :)

Go to a lake or park and walk around, read, eat some food. :)

Do you enjoy wine or whisky or craft beer or anything? Treat yourself to a bottle of something better than you would normally get, along with whatever comfort foods pair best with it.

Do this:

Search online for local shrines in your area. Nearby me there is http://www.ourladyoftheisland.org/ and I like to go there and spend a 1 day mini-retreat by myself.  You could also probably accomplish this at a cathedral, monastery/convent, or reliquary.

 

Coastline near you? walk the beach, go swimming, row/sailboat, jetski

 

Go to a park and fly a kite (even if it's just a cheap $10 kite)

 

Ride a bike through a beautiful area nearby.

 

Camping/hiking/mountain climbing/skiing

 

Visit the courthouse and watch people on trial

 

Sports (tennis, golf, frolf, etc.)

 

Fishing

 

Appalachian Trail, or going to a nearby national park

 

Go to a nearby city for a concert or play

 

Art gallery, museum, science museum, touch and play museum

 

Spelunking

 

Wine tasting/bar hopping

 

Go to a candy factory and take the tours and sample the candy made while you're there

 

Amusement park (six flags, disney, dorney, hershey, etc.) or water park

 

Zoo/aquarium

 

Drive in movie theater (like where you watch the movie from inside your car)

 

And...my number 1 suggestion of the evening:
