Gas prices go up and go down up and down, and just because the prices are lower again now doesn't imply that we should return to wasteful ways. When the price of gas high last summer, lots of families took up the idea of saving by having a "staycation" instead of going on a vacation This is a made-up term that simply means staying at home and making an effort to take advantage of whatever the local environs have to offer. It's an at-home vacation for the overworked family, without having to go somewhere else.
So if you want to take advantage of the idea of a staycation this year, you're in the just the right place already - at home! Now, how can you get the most out of a staycation? The activities you can try out for enjoying the family's time"away," of course, depend on where you live. How would a tourist find out about what to do in your town and its local attractions? Give it some thought, and do just that. Google your town. Ask questions at the Chamber. Find a family that's new in town and ask them what they liked when they first came to town. New arrivals in a place can give a fresh outlook.
After you decide on the activities you will enjoy, here are some other tips to take the best advantage of your time.
Schedule and do regular "vacation" activities. Take lots of pictures of your family doing things together, get dessert, stay up past bedtime and sleep in late (if the kids will let that happen), and break (or bend) some of your normal family rules. It will be fun for the whole family.
Plan each day. You wouldn't think of spending a week in Hawaii without scheduling sightseeing destinations or snorkeling in advance, would you now? Even if it's just a list of activities to do, you will not be as tempted to spend the time doing everyday household chores.
Unplug the phone and close down your email (especially if it's job-related). Pretend you are absolutely out of touch, as if on a remote Caribbean island.
