Are you feeling jittery about taking a family vacation this summer? You’re not alone. Whether it’s your family’s safety abroad, the high cost of gasoline, or a thin bank account that has you unsettled, this might be a great time to consider a dramatic alternative: a stay-at-home vacation!
You can become tourists in your own town by uncovering local gems and taking advantage of the burgeoning number of children’s activities offered by state and county cultural and environmental organizations. Contrary to what the kids may want you to believe, the true definition of vacation is to abandon your normal routine of life. Do everything differently, and you’re on vacation.
