Love this post, I recognize those dinosaurs! I agree - a staycation is often the best! Great suggestions on ideas of what to do, here's hoping I get a staycation soon! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love a good staycation! Sometimes travelling can be more exhausting than relaxing, so a staycation is always a nice way to unwind. However, I don't think any of us will be camping in our back yards this March break!
ReplyDeleteI love the suggestions you provide for things to do during a staycation. As much as I loved the trips my family and I went on, some of my fondest memories are of our staycations when we used to take part in various leisure activities at home. As you stated, there are a lot of positives to staycations (especially saving money and sleeping in your own bed). Sometimes family trips can be hectic and anything but a vacation. A staycation can alleviate those stresses and allow families to reconnect at home. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than reading a good book on a snowy afternoon. Give me that over the stress of travelling any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, Jessica!

Great tips, Jess! Usually these are the only kind of vacations I get to indulge in, as when I'm not in school I usually at work and haven't been able to take a vacation in about 4 years. Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteI feel like queen of the staycations! Good thing this area has so many great tourist attractions. My girls and I are familiar with many of them and I'm always having a search around to find out if any special events are happening. Thanks for the great tips! I hope one day soon to do an actual VACATION though... I'd love to go somewhere warm!!
ReplyDeleteThose are really good ideas for a staycation! I'd love to say that I did stuff on reading week.. but sadly I did not.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to use these ideas for weekends during the internship. Maybe drag my boyfriend out to something- he'll love you for that!
Thanks Jess, awesome blog post!
