In our busy lives it is often difficult to decide what to do with the few precious moments of free time it feels like we have each week. After a long week of work, many of us simply look forward to putting our feet up and sitting in front of the television. However, there are many more fulfilling ways we could be spending our time, that actually involve getting out of the house.
Whether you are looking for something to do alone or with friends and family, Charlottesville offers a variety of events every weekend. There are concerts, art events, and more all the time right here in our city and the surrounding area. For the family, there are activities such as the Walk in the Big Woods at James Madison’s Montpelier, or the 3.5 acre corn maze at the Hess Family Farm. There are also fall festivals, a Pumpkin Carving Party, and other Halloween related events all coming up in the near future. And say you just want to go out alone or with a few close friends while enjoying the weather and beautiful fall scenery. Shenandoah National Park and the Ivy Creek Natural Area are just two places nearby with great outdoor opportunities. And going to these events is barely scratching the surface; there are a huge variety of activities happening each and every day!
Come Friday evening, sometimes it feels too tiring to do anything except spend the next 48 hours recuperating. However, if you make the effort to explore some of the activities offered so close to our home, you will not regret it. Instead of sitting on the couch, get out and enjoy yourself. You will meet new people, experience new things, and get to know the Charlottesville community better.
