Like I mentioned earlier this week, we went on a mini-vaca last week and decided to keep it in the 'hood, migrating an hour down the road to our ski condo in the Laurel Highlands. We packed some clothes and some friends, and our combined 8 children, and headed out.
Travel expenses: A tank of gas
Lodging: Free
Restaurant bills: None
Family Fun: Priceless
Once you begin to research it, and treat your home like a vacation destination, you will see there are so many fun things to do that you can't even fit them all in! We did all the things the kids ever asked to do. You know, the requests you respond with "We'll see. Maybe someday..."
So, this is what we did last week:
Our hiking, biking, sunning, swimming, rock jumping, rock sliding, horse riding, golfing, caving, exploring Staycation.

The Empty Nest
Yesterday we traveled 45 minutes to a water park, then it occurred to me, we could have had a whole vacation right there. There were lots of other attractions too. I love the idea of taking advantage of what's right there nearby. Looks like you guys had a great time!
ReplyDeleteWe're staycationing it up this weekend!
