Staycation Rules

StaycationTreat your staycation like a travel vacation. While you don’t need to rent a car, you do need to break from your regular routine to get the most out of the experience. Here’s how:

     

  • Unplug! Don’t check your work email. Skip the can-wait chores and household tasks.
  • Explore! Take time to get to know your city by hopping on bike trails, visiting museums or splashing around the community pool. Now’s the time to check out all the places you’ve been meaning to go.
  • Get Creative! When you’re not venturing out, venture in. There are no limits to the fun you can have with make-believe play, decorating cookies and more.
