A staycation is when individuals or families stay home and participate in leisure or vacation activities within driving distance, but often sleep in their own beds at night. This can even include trips spent away from home for the night but are still relatively close. Most people usually choose things that can be done in a day trip to save the cost of lodging. With staycations taking less time than a traditional vacation and being more affordable, it has increased in popularity in recent years. Even though a staycation is close to home, it doesn’t mean it’s any less fun than a vacation farther away!
