Forget spring cleaning! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming! Who wants to stay inside scrubbing floors? There are so many activities to take advantage of during spring. You just need to decide on your mood. Are you ready to get moving or would you rather relax and enjoy the day?

Get Moving

Garden
Plant a few herbs for summer meals or transform your backyard into a relaxing retreat.

Golf
While golf isn’t necessarily a Budget Savvy sport, there are ways to do it economically at many municipal courses. It’s a great way to enjoy the outdoors and get a little exercise.

Tennis
No need for an expensive tennis club. Grab a friend and hit the local high school after hours or on the weekend.

Horse Back Riding
When was the last time you rode a horse? Horses can be rented for as little as $35 for a two hour session. Ask about early bird specials and other discounts.

Bike
There is no better time to enjoy a bike ride than in spring. Find a place you have never been to and explore it on two wheels.


Relax and Enjoy

Wine Tasting
There are wine regions throughout the United States. Spend an afternoon exploring the countryside and tasting the best of wines in your area.

Beach Combing
While it may not be warm enough to break out the bikini, the beach (on the lake or ocean) is still a lovely destination.

Festivals
Spring kicks off the food festival season. Whether it’s in celebration of garlic, asparagus or chocolate, check out the festivals in your neighborhood.

Garden Home Tours
Get inspiration for your own garden by taking a garden home tour. Most cities offer tours once or twice a year. Check your local paper.

Read
One of the best ways to enjoy a spring day is sitting outside with a drink in one hand and a book in the other.
