I don't know what to do with my friend when she comes up for vacation. Any ideas?

Where in NY? Are you near parks, hiking trails, mountains, nature preserves for outdoor activities? At this time of year there are county fairs, outdoor concerts, festivals of various kinds (here we have a zucchini jamboree), summer music, theater and dance programs of various kinds, from classical to bluegrass.

I live in a small town in NYS and there are too many choices of things to do here. Anything near your crappy community?

(Given your earlier question, I am afraid to ask whether you have access to a car.)

@gailcalled I’m in the Capital District, about half an hour north of Albany. We have small parks, but that’s it. Neither of us have a lot of money to do much with, so the fair or anything else that costs money is out of the question.

Don’t be afraid to ask. No, I have no car access right now. I might by the time she comes up.

I live fairly nearby, exit two off the Taconic, about 35 minutes SE of Albany.

Wiithout either a little money or wheels, you are in a pickle. I guess taking your nest egg to the races in Saratoga is out?

Ah okay. cool.

haha yeah, basically. I don’t get paid again until after she leaves.

Holy crap! I’m moving to Albany area in a month or so.
We have to have a Fluther Party!!!!

Awesome! Fluther party!!

How about a romantic dinner with ‘options’?

Why not take her up to Lake George and play tourist for a day? Stroll the village, window shop, swim, whatever.

Barbeque, board games, friends, tea party, video feast, food feasts, long walks, card games, computers, painting, gardening, relaxing, sun tanning, scrap booking, photographs, picnic in the park, cooking lessons, sleeping, chillaxing, throwing stones at tin cans, Truth or Dare, historical tour, camping, camping on the front lawn, reading, poetry night, local take-away, local restaurant, find the local visitors centre, frisbie, street fairs, volunteer work, offer to take dogs for walks, have a fancy garage sale, join a new club together, ride bikes, learn to sew or embroider, renovate old furniture and sell it, help the elderly once a week, fly a kite, have a spa day, document your day in photographs, learn to play a musical instrument, talk to a stranger, learn to peel a banana with your feet, have a water balloon fight, visit a museum, write a novel, paint the lounge.

What other interests does she have? Better yet if it’s something you two share.

@ragingloli lol she’s my friend, though, and we’re both engaged XD ‘friend’ isn’t code for something in this case ^^”

@Adirondackwannabe I would but I don’t have a car. she doesn’t do much other then sit around home waiting for her fiancé to come back from work because he’s always late. we both like anime, video games, and movies, though.

@LornaLove thanks for the list! We’ll try some of those thanks!
