Weekend
By Jason Topp on 3 August 2011103 comments
I've had conversations like that many times in the past, but not anymore. I'm learning to
appreciate the little things in life and enjoy living in the moment more. Too often when we think
about "fun" things, we think of the expensive options like taking in a ballgame, going on vacation,
or going to a concert. (See also: Best Travel Reward Cards)
Here's a list to help free you from boredom without emptying your wallet this weekend.
1. Go to the Park
You can take your family or go with a friend. Swing on the swings like when you were a kid.
2. Watch the Sunset
Find a great spot in your community to catch the sunset. We have a lake by our house that offers
organized the hunt as a team-building activity for the kids and adult volunteers (like me). The best part was the
look on the adult's faces (including mine I'm sure) when the director told us about taking photos of...sitting with
an unknown family at a restaurant, hugging a stranger, filling a stranger's gas tank -- we knew about the hunt but
town.
things you could do this weekend and can possibly make a difference on your resume! (See

21. Invite Your Neighbors Over
With today's busy pace, it seems harder to get to know our neighbors. Invite them over for dinner
or dessert and make an effort to know more about them.
22. Go Fishing
Grab the poles, find a pond, and cast those lines!
23. Go to the Beach
Hit the sandy shores for a little rest and relaxation. Just don't forget to protect your skin! (See

Rearranging furniture doesn't cost anything and adds a new flair to your place.
27. Write Out Your Bucket List and Pick One to Do
Brainstorm ideas for all the things you want to do in life, and pick one to do this weekend.
28. Put Together a Jigsaw Puzzle
When is the last time you put together a puzzle? Find one you like and get to it.
29. Volunteer to Babysit for Someone Who "Needs a Break"
I know many parents who would love for someone to offer a chance to take a break from the
busyness of life. Many single parents hardly ever get a chance to get out and unwind.
30. Clean Out Your Closet and Donate to a Thrift Store
Go through your closets and declutter. Find items you can donate to your local Goodwill or
another thrift shop.
31. Watch for Shooting Stars
Go on a star-gazing adventure. Grab a blanket and head to a park to lay and watch the stars.
Here's a meteor shower calendar to help.
Hopefully these ideas are enough to get you started on a fun, cheap, and rewarding weekend!
What cheap, fun things are you planning to do this weekend?
