When was the last time you were a tourist in your own town?
On Sunday afternoon my family headed into Kings Park to enjoy some live music from Adam Hall.
After the concert we took the opportunity to wander around taking photos of the wildflowers and then a few shots across the city.
Yesterday I went cycling with a group of friends and we ended up riding along the coast through Warnbro and back up to Rockingham. It’s so beautiful through there but it’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed the sights of the area. It’s so close and I really should take the time to visit more often.
How about you? Are there places that you only visit if you have interstate or overseas visitors with you or do you do some touristy things from time to time? Is it about time you played tourist in your own city?
If I were to visit your corner of the world, what would you take me to see?
Do you think some of your friends would enjoy reading A Tourist at Home? Please use the buttons below to share the post. Thanks.
I hope the exhibition is still there in November!
Yep, we love the “tourist-stuff”, every Monday we visit at least our dear Henry (where I´d take you for sure if or when you come over).
But you are right, too. When little Niece was over last weekend we took more care to look at tourist-stuff! All in all we do cherish our town very, very much.
Maybe it´s because we choose to live here. The town I grew up in is (apart from being too small for tourist-things) boring to me. Beside nice memories it also holds bad ones. Maybe another reason?
As a matter of fact, we have played tourist in our own nearby big town recently, Indianapolis. =)
There is a lot of history here, as well as culture and sports. We would take you to both of these places:

and for culture, one of our favorite museums: http://www.eiteljorg.org/about/the-museum where we attended this event in 2012: http://thirtysevenandcounting.wordpress.com/2013/02/07/thursday-challenge-the-best-of-2012/
But no trip to Indianapolis is complete without a stop here: http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/visit/
My hubby loves being a tour guide. Let us know if you plan a trip to the middle of the Midwest.
If all that wore you out, we’d bring you out to our suburb where you could watch the corn and soybeans grow! 😉

Thanks for dropping in, Lindy.
You definitely sound like the people to show others around. I’ll have to spend a while checking out those links. 🙂
