Here are a few ideas to consider for your adventures:
Bold and Adventurous Fun:

Once you arrive, ask “the locals” what their recommendations would be for food, fun and adventure.? It’s a great way to break the ice and meet new people.? While on this great adventure, plan a mini vacation for yourself or gather friends to join you on your road trip. Enjoy it all while you make a difference in the community and the lives of others.
Visit Family and Friends:

Volunteer:

Staycation at Home:
- As a homeowner, there are always tasks that require attention. Whether it’s some fix-it jobs, updating the landscape or shopping for new furniture, the chores can seem never-ending.

Time For You:
