Summer Staycation

Were in the heat of summer and as the temperature rises, many are packing their bags and hitting the road. One way to save money this summer and still vacation is to enjoy a “staycation.”

First, lets clear up what a “staycation” is… A staycation is a vacation spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions. With this type of planning, your family now has redirected unused funds that they would have spent on expensive travel, and still reap the advantages of relaxation, rest and quality family time. Sounds like a win to me!

Here are some items on my staycation list:

• Visit the local museums
• Go to the zoo
• Hike a nearby trail
• Go paint-balling or rollerskating
• Go to the movies
• Get a massage
• Pay to have your house cleaned to bring hotel-level service to you
• Grocery shop for your favorite foods
• Create a restaurant schedule and visit local eateries
• But your toes in the water (a pool, ocean or river)

Budgeting time to decompress and have fun with loved ones always rejuvenates my spirit. By taking a staycation you choose a thrifty alternative to an extravagant vacation. I have found myself more relaxed when it’s over because we don’t have the headache of packing, travel, itineraries and overspending.

Have you ever staycationed or are planning one?
