Day Trips

My mom and I love going on day trips. I mean who doesn’t love exploring a cute little town! A typical day trip involves shopping, eating, exploring, and so much more. One of my favorite things is to get little treats from each food shop, whether it be chocolate, coffee, cookies, anything really. I always love a sweet treat!

Bowling

My friends and I just recently went bowling. I literally cannot remember the time before that when I went bowling. But it was so fun! Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be on a roll! It’s even more fun when you mix it up and bowl with your left arm or eyes closed (make sure you’re careful, though lol).

Cooking/baking

There have been so many times I’ve wanted to bake cookies or pizza while at school, but that’s a little challenging when you don’t have an oven nearby. My friends and I have been wanting to have a pizza night for so long. We’d shape the dough into fun shapes and add all the toppings we could ever want.

Movie Marathon

I absolutely love watching movies (I mean, who doesn’t?)! Snuggle up with a blanket and get your friends together to watch your favorite movie series. To make it even more fun, you could make the food and drinks from the movie series and dress up as your favorite character.

Wii Tournament

I recently rediscovered my Wii and forgot how much fun it could be! My friends and I love playing Wii sports, Wii play, and Just Dance. Basically, anything we can make a competition out of. Either grab your friends to play or rediscover your love for your Wii by yourself!

Game Night

I personally believe that board games are underrated. I love sitting around a table playing a fun board game or cards with my friends! We always wind up laughing hysterically. A break away from technology is always good.

BEach DAy

Now, I know everyone doesn’t enjoy the beach (I mean, I don’t myself), but there are so many fun activities that go alongside beach days! Whenever I’m at the beach, I’ll enjoy reading a book, playing sports in the sand, tanning, and more. If those don’t pique your interest, there’s always swimming in the ocean, walking along the water or boardwalk, building sandcastles, etc.

Bike Ride

A bike ride can be so therapeutic, I feel like everyone needs to get out of the house and enjoy nature for a little while. I personally am really bad at riding a bike, but if you’re a pro, you may be able to listen to music or a fun podcast. You could also ride around with your friends at night, it’s such a vibe!

Mini Golf

Mini golf is such a fun activity when you want a friendly competition (not always friendly in my family lol). Typically, there are also a lot of other fun activities that come along with mini golf. It may be a boardwalk, an arcade, bowling, etc. Places that have a bunch of activities close by are always my go to!

Escape Room

I love escape rooms; I think they’re so fun to get people to think outside the box and disconnect from reality. When you’re in an escape room, you really have to immerse yourself and look at the small details. They’re always a really fun way to spend a night with friends or family!

I hope these activities inspire you to make plans for spring break! Have fun!
