What makes your staycations fun or unique?

Staycations are the new vacations.

No planes or trains, no long car rides. We can enjoy quiet time at home or explore what’s in our own community. Best of all, they’re affordable.

Recently we asked LooHoo Wool Dryer Balls Facebook friends about their staycations.

“What makes them fun is that we don't have to go far or spend lots of money to have fun and enjoy each other’s company,” says Lesleeane Chavez. “We can do it right here at home.”

While Bethany Lewis Spencer enjoys camping in her backyard or living room with her family, Lacey Neuman Bissonnette and her brood take one day to live like tourists in their town.

What other Facebook friends enjoy doing on their staycations:

 

“Taking my kids to the park, pool, beach or picnics make my staycation fun-filled.”

—Amy T.

 

“We like to go on lots of long walks. My 7-month-old daughter loves them!”

—Katherine G.

—Brittany K.

 

“We take the kids to their favorite places that we usually only get to once a year, like Crayola, Hershey's Chocolate World and maybe to a beach not too far away. We try to involve different things so we aren't just at one place for an entire week.”

—Laura B.

“We go to the county fair.”

—Aimee P.

 

“We like to get the tourist experience in our city and try the restaurants we haven't yet and take the kids on little adventures around town.”
