I’ve Got a Fever…Spring Fever

Posted by Lu Sid on April 16th, 2008 13 Comments

Here is it April. I keep catching glimpses of the sun and in hopeful anticipation of it sticking round, whip out my sunglasses. The second I get them on the clouds roll in. Sun or no sun, I have definitely got a bad case of spring fever. No matter the man, when I’m walking down the mall, I just want to jump everyone. I even steal extra looks at girls in their cute little skirts. I am in no way interested in them, but can feel the effects of cabin fever reversing. I am ready to go out and play, playmate optional, but preferred.

I know all this built up anxiety and eagerness stem from the need for outdoor physical activity. I am sure you are all right there with me. So in an effort to avoid needing one of those lovely over-the-counter paternity tests, I am offering a list of some outdoor fun to enjoy in the spring in Charlottesville.

Get Outdoors–Meet Some New People with Outdoor Adventure Social Club

Play Some Kickball or Go for a Run

Hike the Appalachian Trail

Or More Hiking…with the lovely city of Cville

Star Watch on Skyline

Enjoy Fridays at 5:00

Winery and Brewery Visits

And then there is a random collection of local things to do (some boring–I’d avoid the tax prep. stuff — others more entertaining)

More simply you could just have Dinner or a Drink Outside at: Blue Light, Miller’s, Sticks, Orzo, McGrady’s, Christian’s, Bizzou, Etc. This is always a guaranteed way to enjoy nice weather, but may not provide much needed spring fever release.

    Wait, we’re supposed to be distracting ourselves from spring fever? Oops!

    /A failure I’m all kinds of okay with.

    @9: ZOMG the Skymaster rules. I would have puked on Oy’s head if I had had more to drink before we went on.
