Summer Staycationing

Leah @ As We Walk Along the Road — Summer Fun at Home

But vacationing with four children isn’t always easy. And it is always expensive! So we also like to “staycation” by finding fun and inexpensive things to do around home in the summer.

Brittney @ Mom’s Heart — Boredom Busters — Summer Staycation Ideas

Even though we moved here eight months ago, we are still feeling like there is so much to discover in our town. So when I saw the cruise title Summer Staycationing, I knew it would be a great way to add a few fun ideas to our Summer Bucket List while we explore the area a little better.

Bethany @ Little Homeschool Blessings — Making a birding basket

We put together a lovely birding basket. If you are planning on staycationing, this makes a perfect basket to grab on a trip to a local park.

Rebekah @ There Will Be a $5 Charge for Whining — Stay Camp (or something like it)

Summer Camp was one of the best times of my life. I’m sad that my son hasn’t gotten to experience something similar. A few years ago I came up with the idea to create a summer camp adventure right at home!

Kym @ Homeschool Coffee Break — Staycation Ideas

We will also take advantage of the accommodations that are already paid for right here at our house. Our comfortable familiar beds, and our own economically stocked kitchen for meals. Saving money on hotels and eating out will ease the vacation expense, and after all, there is PLENTY to see and do within a couple hours drive of home.

Sarah @ Delivering Grace — At home in the summer

The long summer holidays loom. Many people won’t get away at all but even for those who will there are still many weeks to use for good or otherwise.

Tracey @ A Learning Journey — Texas Summer Staycations

The cost of traveling is outrageous for a family on one budget. My husband and I decided this summer we’ll visit and explore the locations in or around our home town. We may even drive a few hours for additional fun and adventures in surrounding areas.
