We all live in a city (or near a bigger city) that has a few, if not many, tourist attractions and delicious eateries. Often times we get comfortable where we are living, and we forget to experience those 'tourist' attractions ourselves. It's time to take a 'vacation' in our own backyard - Let's be a tourist in our own town.
We all have a visitor's bureau, and this is the perfect place to start. Grab a copy of your visitor's guide or request one to be mailed to you. I'm sure you could even locate a 'Things To Do' list for your city online. Here are a few examples of experiences in my area that are currently on my 'Things To Do' list:
1-3. Visit the Museums of Art, History and Natural Sciences.
... My city is dubbed the "Smithsonian of the South" (I've got to get on it!)
4. Have a play day at the Kids Museum - You're never too old to discover.
5. Visit some Brewing Companies.
6. Take a Segway Tour of Downtown!!
7. Hike and then picnic in the nearby state park.
8. See a show at the planetarium and then eat space ice cream : )
9. Stroll the streets downtown before 10PM.
10. Eat, eat and eat - When you live in one of the foodiest cities, it's a must.
Speaking of foodiest cities, Hank and I recently checked off a 'Things To Do' from our list. It was specifically from the 'Eat, eat and eat' category. We've been meaning to try The Roast Grill. It was featured on the Travel Channel's Man V. Food with Adam Richman.

They sell none other than, HOT WEINERS! The line was out the door as the seating inside was for about 12 or so. The menu is simple. Hot dogs all the way with chili (a 70+ year old recipe), slaw, mustard and onions. There are no other options, no sides and a drink is your only addition - to wash down those dogs of course. Now to check off the others... Onward!
