Hey, with the rising costs of gas, you’re not the only one who can’t get away this summer. Whether it’s time or money, there’s no reason you can’t do a bit of “traveling” this summer. Go local!

Especially if you live in a large area, chances are there are a bunch of places you’ve never bothered visiting. Think outside the box and start searching on the internet for places to go nearby. This is not only a great way to avoid those huge gas bills or hefty airline tickets, but it also eliminates the time spent “getting there.”

Here’s a list to get that thought process moving!

Nature farms

Candy factories that offer tours

Bee keeper

Community theater

Farmer’s market

Wildlife preserve

Bike trails

Hiking

White-water rafting

Fishing lakes

And don’t forget about the library. Maybe read up in the travel section in case gas prices drop or you have more time…. Next summer!
