Most people think of summer and they think vacation! Some folks 'day away' their vacation by taking a long weekend and going to the beach while others prefer total breaks from their daily lives in the form of 2-week long adventures in Europe.
There are certainly merits to both. But what about a vacation spent in your own home? You have the benefit of it being low cost, and who knows, you might discover something interesting in your community. If you choose a 'stay-cation' be sure to spend at least one day, viewing your town like a tourist. What's even more fun, is if you do it on a bicycle! For the athletically minded, a bike tour of your county may just thing to keep you energized and engaged while still giving you a break from the daily grind.
I've found that lots of travelling actually creates more stress than it relieves. We've taken several short trips this summer and suddenly I find myself with a 'Bah Humbug' attitude regarding vacation. I just want to sit home and read. Because guess what folks? When you return, there's still laundry to do, kids to feed, grocery shopping to get done and grass to mow.
So the next time you're considering a 'get-away', considering getting away from your routine in the comfort of your own home!
