Summer Staycation Ideas


Many people are cutting back on big vacations this summer. Here are several ideas for inexpensive stay-at-home vacations.

1. Make a list of all the local destinations that out-of-towners would visit if they came to the area. Pick one and pretend you're an out-of-towner.

2.  Rent a hotel room for a night and live it up— play in the pool, order room service.

3.  Consider a 3-day fishing, hiking, camping, horseback, surfing excursion.

4.  Likewise, consider creating a 3-day themed vacation where you study a particular person, topic, or art form that's represented locally.

5.  Have a camp-out in your own backyard.

6.  Volunteer to do community work by improving a park or helping at the food bank.

7.  Plan to go to a local event, like a rock concert, film festival, or car show, instead of fighting traffic, plan on getting a hotel room in the vicinity.
