| Staycation Tips | ||
Remember: You’re on vacation. So find something fun to do. That doesn’t mean painting the house or cleaning out closets, unless you really like doing that sort of thing. Go someplace nearby that you’ve never been – or haven’t been to for a while. An amusement park. A museum. A park. A spa. By spending your vacation at home, you may discover some hidden treasures. |
