Great tips, Mandi, especially ‘do your chores ahead of time’.

It’s hard to feel like you’re on holiday if you’re doing all the same household stuff each day.

Planning ahead so you take a chore holiday on your staycation is a great idea!

We live in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area, so there is always plenty of things to do and see! Thanks for the tips!

Backyard camping is great for kids. Mine are old enough now to really enjoy the extra responsibilities that come with it. They look after their tent as if it was their own little home. So cute !

We live in New York City, and embarrassingly enough… I have never been to the top of the Empire State Building, taken the ferry to Ellis Island, nor have I seen the ferris wheel in the Toys-R-Us Time Square Flagship store. Sooooo… THIS summer, I am planning fun NYC activities for my family and am super excited!! I am very lucky to live here, we have SO MUCH to do in the 5 boroughs, and a lot of it is free or inexpensive, which makes it even BETTER!!!

Oh, man, we just went camping for the first time, and you’re not kidding about the amount of stuff we had to pack to get there and again to come home. I love the idea of camping in the backyard too!

We’ve actually started a tradition of camping in our backyard every year. So much easier than packing everything up in my opinion! Plus we use our indoor plumbing. I love the idea of a staycation.

I love how you describe eating out! We have certain meals that we always eat out–Saturday lunch as a family, my son’s Wednesday lunch with his father–but otherwise I try very hard to plan so that I do not to get to 5:30 and think “gosh, I have no desire to figure out dinner.” I think that’s probably even more important for a staycation because some days it will be inconvenient to come home and others it will be nice to come home and crash with dinner already almost ready.

Oh, I didn’t realize you were in Maine — that’s definitely on my list of must visit places!

Sounds like a wonderful summer!

When you live in Maine, you're crazy if you don't take a staycation in the summertime (it is "Vacationland" afterall). If we travel in a year, it is during the winter months. This summer, we will be visiting Maine's many beaches, hiking/letterboxing, visiting the multitude of festivals throughout the summer, and eating ice cream as often as possible. .-= Jennifer Tankersley´s last blog ..list of ways smead is a perfect complement to a busy home/office =-.
