Staycate ('sta-'kate) verb     Making the decision to choose your own downtown to visit, explore, enjoy, love, shop, experience as a leisure or vacation activity. 

How can you give your family a great vacation without spending a lot of money?  With summer fast approaching, many parents are worried about how they will tell their kids that the family vacation will have to be cancelled because they simply can’t afford it. This doesn’t have to be the case. You can still enjoy a great summer by planning to Staycate!

Can you really have as much fun staying home as you would on vacation?  Yes! Think about it. While none of us can deny the beauty and excitement of a resort beach or a mountain getaway, to Staycate offers many advantages that a vacation can’t. For instance:

AFFORDABILITY  According to the American Auto Association, an average 2-person vacation will average $244 per day. When you add a couple of kids, the price goes even higher. By staying home and enjoying nearby attractions and activities you can literally save $1000s!

CONVENIENCE  Vacations are full of headaches such as packing, airport delays, remembering what you can or can’t carry on to a plane, high gas prices at the pump, and keeping track of all the paperwork like tickets, passports, money vouchers and itineraries. When you Staycate, you avoid all of this, plus, you never have to worry about forgetting your toothbrush!

TRUE FAMILY BONDING  With no exotic destinations or must-see attractions to compete with, you can put the Family back in Family Vacation.

Plan to Staycate this summer and rediscover your downtown!
