I have always liked the idea of a staycation. Because there are always a million things I want to do, but don't feel like I have to since I'm local to these attractions and can always do them. (You can imagine, with that mentality, I rarely do any of the fun things!) I'd go running or biking along the lakefront mid-morning when no one is out there. I'd go to the local museums (one per day!). I'd go to the movies (something I never seem to have the time to do). And I'd go window shopping in areas that have cute boutiques (again, something I never make time to do).

Justin and I do "stay-dates," and we don't even have a baby to keep us home, haha! I love my house, and hanging out here (or at his place) cooking, eating, watching TV, or reading is fun for me. As for "staycations," I've found that plane tickets these days are often a bargain, so my travel instincts haven't been fully suppressed. :)

The saying goes that “There's a book inside all of us”, well here is a chance to let your book out. The wonderful people over at Blurb have given me 3 vouchers worth £30 off a Blurb book and to be in with a chance at winning just pop over to my blog.

I just heard of the greatest idea for a staycation! A friend of mine is getting a service at a local resort spa. With the purchase of any service she gets to spend the entire day at the resort, using the thick couches by the pool, ordering drinks and pretty much spending a vacation day away from home without the priciness of a $500/night hotel! Love the idea and can't wait to do it!

Staycations are hard for me! All I want to do is get away from the heat, but when we can't, a night of walking along the lake trail by our building is the default.

I've been wanting to travel my state too since I'm still relatively new to Seattle and there is SO MUCH to do here. I think it's the way to go!

Of course, I leave for Chicago next week so...not doing so well with the staycationing. ;-)

Your stay dates sound great! I have a long list of staycations since I've been trying to be busy. This weekend my girls and I are going to a local winery in Chadds Ford, PA that is having a Sangria Sunday event. Three hours of wine, food, and music = perfect!

We usually get leave from work in December and this year we also opted to stay home. We have many things in mind...going to the zoo, a theme park, live shows, walks with the puppies, braai's (bbq's), and just relaxing. I'm actually really looking forward to it!

I'm glad you guys have been able to find ways to connect.

I have been loving the experience of finding peace in the middle of the city here in Vancouver.

have you given the Rose Garden a try? it makes for a nice evening stroll.

also, ever since seeing "Yes Man" I've wanted to go up to the Griffith Park Observatory. It has a nice view when the smog isn't bad.

I think staycation is actually pretty cool. To me it's the quality of the time spent with your significant than the amount it costs.

I do have staycation due to stupid summer semester. But seriously, living in a big city helps right>:D
