WEBVTT - Take a weekend day trip 

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Good Morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to take a weekend day trip. Yes,

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>this requires a little planning, but an adventure that you

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>can't do on a weekday is going to make your

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>weekend feel more memorable and full. This episode is first

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>airing in mid October, and in my part of the world,

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the fall leaves are just coming into their peak color.

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the most beautiful times to get

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>out and about and see the world near me, but

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>almost anywhere has something lovely within a two hour radius.

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Lots of folks are still nervous about flying places or

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>even staying in hotels, but a day trip that's doable,

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and there are reasons to do it. Memories are formed

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>by novel and intense experiences. The more memories we have

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>of a given unit of time, the longer it seems.

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.759
<v Speaker 1>So one way to make weekends feel more expansive fill

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>them with more memorable things. Go apple picking and try

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the cider from a place an hour away. See an

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>art museum, go for a leaf peeping hike, and then

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>get a take out dinner from a destination restaurant. If

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you do these, you will definitely have something to recall

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>on Monday morning for that inevitable how is your weekend discussion?

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Of course, a full day of adventures is hard to

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>plan on the fly. You are also not going to

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>wake up on Saturday morning feeling like organizing the day.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>You'll putter around for a while and possibly long enough

0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>to keep some things from being a possibility. Driving ninety

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>minutes means getting up ready to do it, so you

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>need to think through your day trip ahead of time.

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>But that's not a bad thing. When we plan ahead,

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>we can anticipate our fun, and that means that a

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>day trip can provide more than a day's worth of enjoyment.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>So today, I think if there are cool places you'd

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>like to go over the weekend, you might make a

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>list of options within two hours of your house so

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.399
<v Speaker 1>you have ideas for multiple future weekends. Try to make

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>these compound adventures more than one thing in a particular place,

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>so you can maximize the fun. And yes, I know

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>that kid activities sometimes make this hard, but if you

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>know that you want to take a trip, you might

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>bring your kid to the earlier karate class option or

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>try to push activities to one of the weekend days,

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>or at least look for weekends where a day trip

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is an option. When we realized that we had no

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>sports on a recent September Saturday, we made sure to

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>use that one for our apple picking trip. It was

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>lots of fun and not something we could do on

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>a weekday. Evening, we saw a beautiful scenery, had some

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>great sighter, and ended the weekend with a good memory.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty good as these things go. In the meantime,

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.120
