All these! We have to visit a relatively boring small city to see our relatives too. No city with a Metro nearby. We try to see a movie in the movie theater, get a massage, find a nature trail, visit playgrounds (if the weather is nice), go out to dinner at the one or two places that are actually good, do a puzzle, see a show at the local live theater, go to the mediocre sports events it has, go to an antique shop, etc. We try to do things that are all easier to do in the suburbs than where we live in the city--including random shopping if need be. My mom loves to go to places like Marshalls--I'll just suggest we go. She has fun. It's fine for me. Gets us out of the house.

Pretend you're a tourist (google "things to do in X city") and you may be surprised what you find. Even places a small drive away may be worth it![/quote]
