It's not easy to get back into the swing of things after a weekend getaway. San Francisco was just a taste of vacation - but Britt and I were able to jam-pack so many fun things into just a couple of days! So since a little time away is just as important as work.. this week's Professional Tip Tuesday is:
Three tips for making the most of a mini-vacation!
1. Do your research.
- Even just spending a little time looking into your destination spot will give you some fun ideas! Sites like Lonely Planet and Trip Advisor have lists of the top things to do with reviews. Britt and I checked quite a few of the items off of this Top 10 Highlights of San Francisco list!

| Painting the Painted Ladies along Alamo Square Park. |
- It's not like you want a strictly planned out vacation - but it makes the trip a lot more relaxing when you at least have some idea. As you find activities and events to add to your must-do list, start to figure out which days might work best.

| We spent a lot more time than planned at the very best farmer's market. |
- If you find a show, restaurant, or activity you want to do - don't get scared away by the price tag. Check discount websites like Groupon or my new favorite, Gold Star, for cheap tickets to top-rated events. Even just doing a quick search for the name of the event, plus the word 'discount' will probably get you a couple of hits. Britt and I found the Sunset Bay Cruise from my Favorites on Friday post on Gold Star for half the price!

Great advise Anna!!! I didn't know about Gold Star and I will be checking it out. Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course! Not only did we do the sunset cruise for half the price, but we also went to an improve comedy show for free!! Hopefully you can find some good deals on there as well :)
