This weekend take a vacation at home. Go visit a site, destination, or other special place that you would usually wait to see until you have visitors from out of town. And, think of the places that people for other states or countries travel to that is close you – those are places I’m talking about.

This weekend we are going to see fireworks at nearby Longwood Gardens. Some of the friends we’re taking live in our town and haven’t been to Longwood in the last decade or more. Yet, when we’re there we hear as many foreign language speakers as we do English speakers. That  means that people from around the world make Longwood Gardens their destination and make the effort to travel to it. It’s a big deal. And, it’s a 20 minute drive for us.

Shelly always waits for her sister to visit to go to her favorite restaurant, Teca. Her boyfriend could give her a great surprise by taking her there this weekend (or make the reservation this weekend and plan for a few weeks down the road!) What a great way to delight someone!

What little vacation can you take close to home this weekend?
