Take a Walk Around the Lake 　　湖畔漫步 　　Find a lake with a walking path and bring your partner or your canine companion. Enjoy the views, get some exercise and feed the ducks. Then, stop for some iced tea at the lakeside restaurant. 　　跟伴侶或愛犬去湖畔散散步，欣賞風(fēng)景、伸展胳膊、喂喂鴨子，然后再在湖邊小店喝杯冰茶。 　　2. Go On a Hike 　　去遠(yuǎn)足 　　Many areas have hikes of varying lengths within city limits or a few miles outside of the city itself.

Dont forget good shoes, water, sunblock, and a hat. 　　許多城市邊緣或離市區(qū)幾英里的位置都有遠(yuǎn)足的地方。你可以選擇短程但刺激的遠(yuǎn)足，或花一天時(shí)間去登山。當(dāng)然，別忘了準(zhǔn)備好鞋子、水、防曬霜和帽子。 　　3. Go On a Bike Ride 　　騎游 　　Rent a bike from the local bike shop or ride your own. Map out a route and calculate the distance using a bicycling app on your smartphone. Take extra water and dont forget to wear a helmet. This can be a fun activity for kids, too. 　　在本地車店租一輛或干脆跨上自己的車去騎游。先標(biāo)好路程并算好距離，在手機(jī)里設(shè)置好騎行導(dǎo)航軟件。多帶點(diǎn)水，別忘了戴上頭盔。這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)也很適合小孩子哦。 　　4.

Get some sandpaper, wood stain and polyurethane and turn that dresser into a beautiful piece of furniture. 　　是不是一直想重新裝飾房間里那張舊梳妝臺(tái)?那就準(zhǔn)備好砂紙、涂料和油漆，開始行動(dòng)，把它粉飾得漂漂亮亮吧! 　　5. Go On a Picnic 　　野餐 　　Find a local park or recreation area and bring food and games for a day of fun. Play Frisbee, horseshoes, volleyball, soccer, or take a short hike.

Go to a Karaoke Bar 　　K歌 　　Sing to your favorite songs while enjoying the company of good friends. Order food, have a beverage and make a night of it. 　　跟好朋友去KTV唱唱喜歡的歌，同時(shí)享用美味的食物和飲料，度過(guò)一個(gè)開心的夜晚。 　　7.

There are even 5Ks that are kid-friendly. 　　5千米長(zhǎng)跑對(duì)保持體形很有幫助。你可以加入慈善機(jī)構(gòu)組織的長(zhǎng)跑活動(dòng)，或自己跑著玩兒。還有，別忘了讓朋友給你加油鼓勁。另外，有些長(zhǎng)跑運(yùn)動(dòng)甚至也適合小孩呢。 　　10. Shop Garage Sales 　　商店庫(kù)存促銷時(shí)掃貨 　　Check your local listings and set up a route to hit a lot of garage sales in one day. This is a great opportunity to find furniture, household items and stylish clothes at incredible prices. 　　先看看哪些商家有促銷活動(dòng)，定好路線攻略，然后就集中掃貨去吧。促銷時(shí)能買到不少便宜的家具、家用物件或漂亮衣服。 　　Have Fun! 　　好好玩一玩吧! 　　With this list of ideas, youre sure to have plenty to do for a weekend of spontaneity, fun, and relaxation.
