Sometimes a person needs a little get-away but the lack of vacation days or other obligations keep you from taking a week or more.
I suggest a day trip. Study the map and find a place within an easy drive with a park, historic site, or cultural (sports count) event you want to experience.
In the spring of 2022, I had the urge to “get out of town”. I think all the pandemic “waves” kept me close to home for longer than my nature enjoys.
So I packed my things, and headed for the extreme Northeastern corner of Missouri. I had four state parks and historic sites on my itinerary for the day. So I started early and grabbed a tiny breakfast an hour and a half from home.
The day was full. When I returned after dark, I gave thanks for the new tires on my car (purchased only a few weeks previous) and for the ability to see and enjoy new sites.
The places I went that day would have been subjects for Serena Carter’s camera during her fictional year photographing Missouri State Parks and Historic Sites. You can find her story in the sweet romance, Morning Tryst. Just follow the link for more information. https://amzn.to/35gH37S
