00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Good Morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Today's tip is to take a weekend day trip. Yes,

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: this requires a little planning, but an adventure that you

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: can't do on a weekday is going to make your

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: weekend feel more memorable and full. This episode is first

7
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: airing in mid October, and in my part of the world,

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: the fall leaves are just coming into their peak color.

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: This is one of the most beautiful times to get

10
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: out and about and see the world near me, but

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: almost anywhere has something lovely within a two hour radius.

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: Lots of folks are still nervous about flying places or

13
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: even staying in hotels, but a day trip that's doable,

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: and there are reasons to do it. Memories are formed

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: by novel and intense experiences. The more memories we have

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: of a given unit of time, the longer it seems.

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: So one way to make weekends feel more expansive fill

18
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: them with more memorable things. Go apple picking and try

19
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: the cider from a place an hour away. See an

20
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: art museum, go for a leaf peeping hike, and then

21
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: get a take out dinner from a destination restaurant. If

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: you do these, you will definitely have something to recall

23
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: on Monday morning for that inevitable how is your weekend discussion?

24
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: Of course, a full day of adventures is hard to

25
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: plan on the fly. You are also not going to

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: wake up on Saturday morning feeling like organizing the day.

27
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: You'll putter around for a while and possibly long enough

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: to keep some things from being a possibility. Driving ninety

29
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: minutes means getting up ready to do it, so you

30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: need to think through your day trip ahead of time.

31
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: But that's not a bad thing. When we plan ahead,

32
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: we can anticipate our fun, and that means that a

33
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: day trip can provide more than a day's worth of enjoyment.

34
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: So today, I think if there are cool places you'd

35
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: like to go over the weekend, you might make a

36
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: list of options within two hours of your house so

37
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: you have ideas for multiple future weekends. Try to make

38
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: these compound adventures more than one thing in a particular place,

39
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: so you can maximize the fun. And yes, I know

40
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: that kid activities sometimes make this hard, but if you

41
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: know that you want to take a trip, you might

42
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: bring your kid to the earlier karate class option or

43
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: try to push activities to one of the weekend days,

44
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: or at least look for weekends where a day trip

45
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: is an option. When we realized that we had no

46
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: sports on a recent September Saturday, we made sure to

47
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: use that one for our apple picking trip. It was

48
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: lots of fun and not something we could do on

49
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: a weekday. Evening, we saw a beautiful scenery, had some

50
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: great sighter, and ended the weekend with a good memory.

51
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: That's pretty good as these things go. In the meantime,

52
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: this is Laura. Thanks for listening, and here's to making
