Summer Activities Day 6: Around the Town

Every once in a while, when we get a free day, our family goes on one of my favorite family 'dates'. We have a couple of favorite flea markets that we enjoy browsing. I don't always buy anything, but if I do it's normally a good book! Afterwards we go across the street and get a burger or wings at a local restaurant, and if there is any room at all, we head over to a little gelato, sweets and coffee shop. It's a great place for us, because they have the gelato for my son, and coffee for me and my hubby!

You know your town, and their own local places. It's always nice to support local businesses and making it a full outing doesn't really have to cost you a ton. Here are some things you can look for in your own town:

Flea Markets

Farmers Market

Art and Crafts Market (okay, so there are a lot of markets on this list!)

Town History Museums

Children's museum 

Some of the Farmers Market and Art and Crafts will happen on certain days of the week/month, so be sure you check with your local newspaper or news site to know when things are happening in your town.
