Must-do activity: Grab the gang and head outdoors. Even if you normally wouldn’t be caught dead in hiking boots, you can still have fun in the fresh air. Find a local hiking trail, or even just set up a blanket in the grass at your local park and catch up on each other’s lives. The change of scenery will feel like a vacation, even though the travel time was approximately 2.5 minutes.

What to pack: When you’re spending a day with Mother Nature, you’ll want plenty of sunscreen and bug repellant (try Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus SPF 30 Sunscreen, $14 for a nice combo). A cute straw hat is also perfect for chilling at the park.
