Summer is approaching quite fast and what better way to spend it than with family, friends, or even on your own. Summer planning can be something very stressful, time-consuming, and often times costly. Here are a few personal summer tips on ways to have a great summer.
If you financially can’t go out of the state or on a long road trip, try doing something local. There is always plenty to do around you. Summer is the perfect time when you can go to the movies and catch up on the hottest new movies you may have missed because of your busy schedule. You could catch a matinee, which will give you slightly discounted prices.
Another thing you could try is just a fun night with a few close friends right at home. Yes that may sound a little boring, but when you are on a budget and around the ones that matter the most than—I can guarantee you can find a good time. Rent/buy movies have an agenda for the night; figure out what foods, snacks and drinks would be the best.
If you are looking for something a little different from your usual activities, try a little day trip. Find hotels with low prices on popular apps such as priceline and hotwire. Even if it’s a spur of the moment activity, a short road trip gives time for bonding with whomever you decide is perfect for this vacation.
While on a road trip look up the areas that you will be passing through. Will there me some tourist attractions? Go to the beach, walk the boardwalk, get a hermit crab or a henna tattoo. Possibly visit an amusement park and ride some water rides and roller coasters. Six Flags has various parks located in places like New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Or you could go to wildwood and enjoy the bike show and rides.
None of these attract you? Are you looking for a big WOW go all out type of summer…there is still some news for you St. Regis Resort in Park City, Utah has a beautiful resort that offers family packages ranging from $369-432 a night. Split the cost with some friends and have a great time staying in the beautiful mountains. At the resort you can do a range of things from shopping, fine dining, swimming and even skiing! Yes skiing in the summertime for the winter-lovers.
Again many apps and websites like priceline.com and hotwire.com can help you book a slightly discounted trip. Often times with the sites you can book both flight and hotel stay and that will bring down the cost of your trip as well. So start making those summer plans. Don’t let your summer pass by without you making something of it. Will you own it or will you let it own you?
