Things You Can Do Inside to Avoid the Heat
Summer
is a season filled with plenty of fun for most people, but sometimes the heat
gets to be a little too much. That's when it's time to head indoors to spend
some time and take advantage of one of the greatest things ever invented: air
conditioning. Luckily, there are plenty of exciting indoor options for
entertainment, whether you want to spend time alone or with friends and family.
Go the Movies (or Binge Netflix)
When
it's hot outside, you probably don't feel like moving around too much, even
when you're inside soaking up the AC. This makes a movie (or four) the perfect
way to spend an afternoon. Head to your local theater and splurge on a ticket
and snacks. Movie theaters are usually super cool. If you prefer the comfort of
your own home, crank up the streaming TV and start making your way through your
watch list. Have some yummy takeout delivered so you don't have to leave the
house at all.
Grab a Book
If
you're more of the literary type, substitute a new book for a movie. For an
outing, spend an afternoon in your local library or your favorite bookstore
checking out the new releases. From there, you can read in any air-conditioned
location you want, whether it's your house or a cute little coffee shop.
Visit a Museum
If
you want to keep your brain in shape, head out to that local museum you've
never visited and finally see what all the fuss is about. Like the bookstore
and movie theater, it's probably pretty cool inside, but keep in mind that
school is out for the summer. If the place is kid-friendly, it might be a bit
crowded. Some larger museums even have cafes, theaters, and gift shops where
you can make a whole day of it.
Shop Until You Drop
Do
you have an indoor mall nearby? You can bet that it'll have the AC cranked up
to high during the summer. If you like to shop, you've pretty much got your day
planned out for you. But keep in mind that most malls have extras if you're
short on cash or don't like to spend your day browsing. Look for a mall with an
arcade, a theater, a food court, or a spa so you can have some extra fun while
you stay cool.
Have a Playdate with the Kids
Do
you have kids, or nieces and nephews? If so, consider taking a day off from
your adult responsibilities and hanging out with them. You can make crafts,
cook up some delicious snacks, watch movies, read, play, and just have a good
time. It's a great way to bond and keep out of the heat at the same time.
Go Ice Skating
Of
course, if you do feel the need to remain active while beating the heat, an
indoor ice-skating rink is an excellent choice. It's cool inside — that's a
no-brainer — and if you're hot enough, you won't even mind falling. It's an
excellent workout, too.
