Ideas Needed for a Stay-At-Home Vacation

[Anaisa]

a mini vacation at home...well, one can have scented for the picnic idea...even it you have to eat inside some pine scent; Let's say you visited the big trees in CA, maybe you could put up some pic of your vacation and pretend you are there again; then take those down and put up some new ones and kinda vroom vroom around the room and say here's our next stop sweetie...LOL Love the thought, hope you guys have a great mini vacation.

by the way just wanted you to know there is an actual word for a stay at home vacation its staycation and here are a few more ideas I was actually thinking about doing this one with my husband he is a golfer me not as much but i do golf go to 3 or 4 golf course We happen to have 4 here in town but I was going to take him to 3 different ones all about an hour away for like a 3 day golf weekend. or you can consider bowling and mini golf laser tag a driving range mini go carts rollerskating there are even cities that have staycation guides I seen a staycation guide for Huston and Boston

Kaye, pics and authentic foods are great ideas! Thanks so much!

Anaisa, a trip around the world sounds like fun! I love scents and food, what a treat! Thanks for the ideas!

MsBhaven, staycation is a word that's familiar to me. Now, that I'm planning one, I'll have to begin using the word. Yes, these are great hobby-related ideas! I can really use your idea and center it around one or several of my hubby's hobbies. Thanks so much MsBhaven!

I found it Beverly! I was thinking a lot of the same things! Say you want to spend a week in Hawaii then put Hawaiin decorations all through the house, with Hawaii music and foods! A week at the beach all the music or sounds of the ocean set out beach towels and umbrella I can send you lots of seashells that I have bought or got from our weekend trips to the beach last summer! I would plan how long you want to stay at your vacations or if you just want to change it daily! It is pretty much the same as others have said! LOVE YOUR FRIEND MANDA!

I know in my case even though I lived in Galveston which is rich in history as well as attractions I never took advantage of them. Maybe take a guided tour of the city and see it in a different light. Have a themed party light with special people. assist in a nursing home or food kitchen. See a play or musiccal.

Tami, I agree a tour of our town would make for a great staycation. We do enjoy plays...fantastic idea! Thanks for all of your ideas!

If you like to decorate, have a theme of Hawaii. Get the decorations, get music or ocean waves. Have some Hawaii cocktails.. Order take out food.
Have fun.

Great minds think alike! That also was one of Amanda's ideas. Thanks so much Chinca!
