Time: 1 - 2 Hours
STEP 1: Review options of where you can go and what dates are convenient for you. Is there a nearby town you’ve always driven past but never visited? How about a state-wide landmark you’d like to learn more about? Your mini-vacation could even be as simple as visiting an old friend who moved to a new city or state.
STEP 2: Make a budget for your trip, then determine what you’ll do while you’re there to make you relax, smile, laugh, or scream with excitement. Having fun doesn’t always mean you have to spend money—take a scenic drive or make a picnic and visit a park in the area…challenge yourself to break away from your normal routine at home.
STEP 3: Request time off from work and make any necessary arrangements (i.e. get passport, arrange child and/or pet care, schedule tours/adventures, etc.).
STEP 4: Enjoy your much-needed getaway, and don’t forget to take pictures of your trip for lasting memories.
