Need a break from the craziness we called life but can't afford a vacation?? The perfect solution to this is to take a day trip somewhere. Pull up a map and pick a place near you that can be visited in a day then pack up some snacks, grab Starbucks and head out. It's a mini adventure that not only gets your mind off things but also helps you discover new things.
This past Tuesday I took one of these said trips with one of my really good friends. We decided to visit St. Augustine for our trip. We met up at Starbucks at 9am, grabbed our drinks and hit the road for the hour & a half trip north. We spent the whole day wandering around the city going into the various shops, checking out the historic landmarks, taking pictures and just enjoying each others company and what the day brought us. We took a break for lunch around 1 and enjoyed some of the local cuisine then went right back to picture taking. Around 4 we grabbed some coke floats and made our way across the bridge to the island and scoped out their lighthouse. Finally around 5:30 we decided to call it a day and head back to Orlando.
This was a fun little trip that anyone can do. Whether you need a break from things or are just sitting around the house trying to decide what to do, you need to give the "day trip" a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised :)
