- Check out a local sporting event.
- Explore nature.
- Go bike riding.
- Go for a swim.
- Read your favorite book, or explore a new one.
- Shop at the local farmers’ market.
- Go camping.
- Learn a new hobby.
- Visit the beach.
- Volunteer at a local shelter.
No matter how you spend your vacation, it’s sure to be a good one. Just remember to stay cool — and stay organized.
