Weekend Outdoor Activities

As the blistering days of summer come to end, we can still find ways to enjoy the last few weeks of warm weather. This weekend, find ways to enjoy the outdoors with your friends, family, or even by yourself. Here are some fun activities:

*Go for a bike ride. Find a neighborhood or public path to utilize this great means of transportation. Make sure to bring a helmet and water if you plan on being outside for a long time.

*Look up local parks and pack a picnic lunch. This is a great way to spend quality time with a significant other, get your children outdoors, or to lazily enjoy the day by reading a book.

*Break out that blanket and sit under the stars. If you're surrounded by trees in your background, some parks and neighborhoods have areas that allow people to relax amid the starry night. If you live near a college campus, some areas are big enough to allow passersbys to use the space.

*Read your local newspaper for weekend events. Some cities will have movie nights in parks or other fun events going on throughout the day.

*Take a stroll through the heart of your city. Most of the time during the weekend, the city can be a lot quieter without the hussle and bussle of the workweek. Walk around the sidewalks enjoying the sidewalk cafes and music of local artists.

*What's a weekend without a yummy barbecue! Invite some of your closest friends for a small get together. Head to your local grocery store to pick out some steaks or ribs and other delicious side items. Start up the grill and don't forget your GasWatch so you don't run out of propane while grilling!!
