2. Have a relaxing, leisurely lunch
Head out to a restaurant you’ve wanted to try and have a really long lunch.
3. Go shopping
Deer Park Towne Center has lots of great stores to buy some items for fall or your house. Or, buy a photo frame for that first day of school photo.
4. Go to the park and enjoy the silence
Paulus Park, 200 S. Rand Road, is a nice place to just sit and meditate on the silence.
5. Take a nap
It’s a proven fact that a nap will rejuvenate your spirit. If you want to combine a few items on this list, take a nap outside.
