Most cities have museums or galleries and the like. I've always found it interesting when people don't really know much about the place where they live, but really want to go to all these far away places.

Which is why visiting your family isn't too stressful for me. I think we’re very much the same, Christine. Which is why visiting your family isn’t too stressful for me.

We couldn't remember the last time we had done that, but we'll have to make a habit of it -- and return the favor of course. I also need to find more places to hang out for free here in town.

You know how I'm easily exhausted by crowds/people/etc. Often when I travel (especially when to somewhere I've been a million times, like to DE) I'd much rather take short walks around the neighbourhood, or some such thing, than go out on a big trip -- or, for that matter, often I'd rather just stay in. I guess I'm mostly a homebody, regardless of whose home my body is in. That’s nice; I heartily approve.

We took them to a free tour of a candy factory and it was a blast! and lots of free candies, too. Yeah, we did the same thing with DF’s family last Christmas.

When my brother and sister in law came for dinner last week, we were even more frugal. We both made a course each - they just prepared there's before they came and cooked it here.

In DC it isn't a problem especially if you add on the surrounding VA and MD touristy sites. Just walking around Georgetown and stopping for coffee is fun. It's a little harder in Ohio. One ice cream shop in my little downtown area and you've pretty much done it all.
