7 Ideas for a Rainy Day - Our RV Journey - Summer Trip - Day 38

Over the past week, it has been rainy and chilly at times, particularly in the mornings and evenings. To pass the time and keep us warm, we’ve been to the library to replenish our book supply and pick up a few movies. We’ve been spending our down time reading and snuggling up and watching movies.  As for dinner, we went out one night to eat and warm up! Guess what? The restaurant wasn’t much warmer than our camper! So that didn’t work out so well. Thankfully, the food was good. With this weather, it’s definitely time to make my crockpot soup again! 
I can’t believe the difference in temps and the weather we are experiencing. At home, the temperature is in the 90s and the pool has been open for over a month. Here we are still in Spring with day-to-day temp and weather changes!
Things to do on a rainy day in the camper:
1.       Pop some popcorn and watch a movie (download one, rent at Redbox, borrow from the library)
2.       Read a book
3.       Read aloud a book to the family or your spouse
4.       Turn off any lights and listen to an audiobook
5.       Work on a handicraft project
6.       Play cards or a board game
7.       Clean - you can see why is it further down on my list!  =D

If there have been several rainy days and you are tired of being couped up in the camper or being creative, you could get out for the day. 
Here are some ideas :
1.       Go bowling
2.       Go out for a hot meal
3.       Go to the library or bookstore to browse or buy the latest book in a series you enjoy
4.       Go to a museum
5.       Visit family! Especially someone with little ones who could use your help for the day or an older person or someone who lives alone who would enjoy the company. Remember to call ahead! Bring them a treat too; they will be delighted!
6.       Explore an indoor farmers market
7.       Go treasure hunting at a thrift store
