Water Sports

Have you ever lived somewhere that had plenty of activities available to you and yet you just never got around to participating, life got in the way and then you moved and realized you never experienced what was right in front of you? Living in Globe, there are so many different outdoor activities that can be reached for a day trip. Roosevelt Lake is close enough that you can have great day trips. Use what equipment you have, can borrow, or purchase such as paddle boards, kayaks, boats, and more. Head out for a day at the lake. It's great to be able to take a day and live in vacation mode with the spouse. Enjoy the sunshine, water, and whatever activity you choose. Check out the Forest Service website for needed  Passes  and additional information you may need for these outings.

Chinese Dinner

Bring Beijing to your living room. Study up on the culture a bit and decorate your date night space (living room floor?).  Get take out from China Taste Buffet   and don't be afraid to try to dress the part as well. (Hong Kong) Marriage Reconnect  We don't always get opportunities to take vacations with our spouses, so relish in this evening...pretending to be in a far-a-way place. Together, learn origami or watch an Asian film (Jackie Chan?).  Talk about a place you would like to visit and make plans (real or pretend) for how you are going to make it happen--budget, babysitters, etc.

Staycation!

There are some great, historic inns here in downtown Globe. The Chrysocolla Inn . This Inn was once a boarding house during the turn of the century, as Globe was booming. Another unique, local inn is the Noftsger Hill Inn. This inn was once a school, therefore it boasts of spacious rooms with sitting areas and wonderful historic memorabilia.  Marriage Reconnect Enjoy your own marriage retreat here in this historic community. Just enjoy relaxing together: be it reading side by side or together on a shaded porch or garden area, learning about mining history or ghost stories, just be present and keep away from the usual topics of kids, house, work, chores, etc.
