Now that summer is on its way, the pressure starts to set in to plan a great family vacation. Of course, a family vacation is supposed to be a fun, memorable event – but if money is tight, it can be a supremely stressful event for the parents! One of the great solutions, when money is tight, is planning a “staycation” – a vacation at home – instead of planning one for the road!
Setting the dates and making sure everyone recognizes that these days will be treated the same as if you were on vacation is the first step to planning a staycation. If you have teenagers, this can be especially difficult, as they might decide tha the idea of a staycation is “lame,” and that they would rather go hang out with their friends. But for a successful staycation, it is important that the kids are not going off to spend the night with their friends, and that you and your spouse are not off shopping or playing golf!Moved Permanently

Another big key to a successful staycation is keeping the staycation shorter than a regular vacation would be, as this will make it easier to keep everyone around. If you would maybe take a week-long vacation were you to travel, shorten this to a four day vacation if you are staying at home. And actually, your staycation is still providing you with plenty of time, as two days of a travel vacation are usually consumed with travel anyway. And once you have the days set aside and have convinced everyone to be there, the biggest thing will be making sure you have things planned. If you have a staycation that just forces everyone to sit around the house, they will be on the phone, in front of the television, with a book, et cetera. Instead, you should treat things like you would a travel vacation – planning games for the time when you are all at home, and planning events for your time away from home. There are many people who find that their best family vacations are their staycations; you can find the same thing, if you plan correctly!
