Having fun does not always have to be expensive.
If you have children, spend time planning activities with them.
Check your local newspaper for cultural and social events. Many local events are free or low cost. You can also find information about things going on in your area at CitySearch.com.
Some other ideas:
- Go to a movie during the matinee hours.
- Have a family game night and play board games, puzzles, or cards.
- Learn a craft that you can share with your children such as clay, crochet, cross stitch, or woodcrafts.
- Your local library offers more than books! Check them for videos and games.
