A Family Staycation

Staycation is defined as a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home/close to home and relaxes or takes day trips from their home to area attractions. Staycations have achieved high popularity in current hard economic times in which unemployment levels and gas prices are high.

Things are so expensive now days. It is really easy to have some family fun right at home. My oldest son Jeromy loves the pool, and Jayce likes the bathtub. We decided to get a hotel room for the night. We paid about $50 for a nice room with an indoor pool. I stopped by our local Dollar Tree and picked up some floats and pool toys. I packed sandwiches and snacks and we had a ball!!

We stayed in the pool the majority of the time and once we returned to the room we rented a few Disney movies. Both boys really enjoyed the pool and THANK GOODNESS the water tired them out. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy some QT time while the boys went fast asleep.

As much as I would love to travel and see the world; I was very satisfied enjoying some inexpensive “Quality Time” locally with my boys.
