INSTAGRAM: @DRESSEDINBLESSINGS WEBSITE: DRESSEDINBLESSINGS.WIXSITE.COM/WEBSITE With the crazy whirlwind that was 2021, we all know everyone is just itching to getaway and relax with family and friends. Although we have come a very long way in this pandemic, we still have some way to go and unfortunately we still need to keep social distance in mind, especially when planning to travel or getaway. Here are some easy places and fun ways to getaway this summer and stay safe!
1. A Trail Hike Summer Tour
Calling all lovers of the outdoors! Summer 2021 is for getting out and exploring the nature around us. Get together with family or your best friends and map out all of the fun trails you want to hike this summer. Get together each weekend and make a day of hiking one of the selected trails. By the end of the summer you'll have toured many of your local hiking trails. Sometimes we focus so much on getting away physically that we forget how to be tourists in our own state!
2. Glamping
While this is still a relatively new concept, it is an idea that I 1000% support. Who doesn't love the idea of getting to escape into the beauty of nature, but still getting to enjoy all of the comforts of home. Glampin is exactly what it sounds like: Glamourous Camping = Glamping! Forget regular old tents and cooking over a fire. Instead imagine a tent with a full kitchen and master bedroom, and indoor plumbing only steps away. Glamping is an activity that is definitely going to thrive in Summer 2021, but reservations are usually required, so make sure to get ahead of the rush!
3. Time for an RV!
This option is definitely pricier and much more of a commitment, but will bring a summer full of fun. So many people have hopped onto the latest trend of renovating RV's! Buying up and old RV and giving it some elbow grease and a little DIY is a fun way to get the family or some friends together to create the RV of your dreams and an awesome space for summer getaways. Once the RV is renovated and ready to go, you can plan road trips for every weekend if you want to. Best part? You can come and go as you please and never have to worry about booking a hotel room or place to stay along the way.
4. A Tourist in your own State
People come from far and wide to visit Rhode Island, it is such a popular tourist destination. When you live here, you often forget all that your home state has to offer. Rhode Island is also such a short driving distance from other states with equally amazing destinations! Hit the road and take a day trip to Boston and explore the city. Plan a weekend getaway to the moutains with friends and family. The possibilities are endless. Explore the majesty of the mountains or all of the beautiful beaches New England has to offer.
5. Water Fun Anyone?
With so many amazing water parks
close by, these make the perfect place to getaway for some fun in the sun! Although last summer many water parks were closed due to the pandemic, this year many are reopening with guidelines in place to keep everyone safe, how exciting is that? If water parks aren't really your thing, how about learning a new and funk skill? Water sports like kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding are all great ways to get out and enjoy the day. These activites are also very easy for beginners. Many places will offer classes and you can even book a group session and make a fun memoy with family and friends.
I hope these getaway ideas have been helpful and get you excited for all that Summer 2021 can be! Work life balance is extremely important (always remembert that) and getting away with family and friends is such a great way to find that balance. Have fun this summer and stay safe everyone!
