When we go away, I like to explore, to check out some of the cool things to see (and to eat). There are plenty of options at home, too, but I don’t pay as much attention. Maybe it’s because I can always do it another day. When you’re visiting somewhere, you’re on limited time.
I’m happy to have a son young enough to still like day trips with Mom, so each week of summer we plan an adventure. I hope it stops raining, or this week’s might be kind of soggy.
We’ve picked strawberries, visited a couple of favourite parks… I want to find something new to do near home and I may have found it. I hear there’s an Italian market that sells gelato….
What do you like to do near home for a mini-vacation?
The green thumb gene skipped me, but I’ve had some success with African violets (mostly through ignoring them). This week parent and baby needed repotting, and my newly-purchased teeny one migrated into a community coffee-cup pot. Look for the little green smudge (leaf) sticking over the edge on the front right, beneath the tall plant. I wonder what colour the new one will bloom? And how many years I’ll wait to see.
