National "Relaxation Day" is August 15th- How will you celebrate?

By Breanne Selland August 10, 2024

With the hustle and bustle of summer, how wonderful to have a mid-day week excuse to unwind intentionally? Be it personal downtime as a parent, or a relaxing family activity- here are a few ideas in our area if you feel inclined to celebrate this brilliant day (or any other day you deem National Relaxation Day!)


1. Grab a scoop of ice cream at Sunshine Scoop Ice Cream in Lacey

Family friendly with homemade ice cream and a play area for the little ones while you relax :)

2. Plan a painting night at Painting with a Twist

If 'relaxation' means a little break from the kiddos, check out their events! So many options and activities. 

3. Play a little pickleball and grab a bite to eat at 23 Kitchens

If exercise is your relaxation jam, reserve a court for rounds of pickleball while enjoying delicious food from the restaurant! They also have outdoor games and seating areas.

4. Check out the waterfalls at Deschutes Valley Park

For the outdoorsy, the Deschutes waterfalls are a must-see sight in the area. It is peaceful and relaxing, to say the least!


Happy National Relaxation Day, everyone! Enjoy it!
