But going on vacation with a small budget? These days, it\u2019s not going to happen. While a trip to an exotic location or overseas travel might not be in the budget, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t find fun right down the street to fill your time off. That\u2019s where a staycation comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staycation is short for stay-at-home-vacation. The idea has been around for a while but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/s\/staycation.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has become increasingly popular<\/a>&nbsp;as the costs of gas and the hassles of air travel have both gotten out of control. Long delays, decreasing leg room, poor accommodations &#8211; they\u2019ve all left vacationers feeling like they need a vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a temporary getaway without the costs or hassles of getting away, we\u2019ve put together a list of ideas to fill your off-time with affordable fun. Use these tips as a jumping off point to making the most of your staycation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-backyard-camping\"><strong>Backyard Camping<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up, did you ever set up a makeshift tent in the backyard? It was an adventure then &#8211; and it can be, now! You don\u2019t need any fancy camping equipment to rough it. Grab some sleeping bags or blankets, gear up with smores and firewood, and spend the evening around the fire telling scary stories or singing silly songs with the kids. You can even make it a romantic evening under the stars with your significant other. Just don\u2019t forget the bug spray!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If being out in the elements doesn\u2019t sound like the kind of romantic getaway you\u2019re looking for, a little creativity and cash will get you a night of Glamping &#8211; or glamorous camping. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/home\/glamping-home-tips-creating-ultimate-backyard-getaway-t100757\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out this article<\/a>&nbsp;for tips to making the perfect glampsite in your own backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-family-game-night\"><strong>Family Game Night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the age of technology, an often-forgotten pastime is the old board game. Whether it\u2019s a classic like Monopoly or a fast-paced card game of Uno, you can gather with friends or family around the living room table for a fun night in. Add some snacks and drinks to keep everyone happy as the competition heats up. You might just have so much fun, you make a thing of it every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-library-visit\"><strong>Library Visit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know your local library has so much more than books? Sure, you probably know about the magazines and newspapers that can be read. But what about movies to borrow? Many libraries have access to digital movies for rent &#8211; often times at lower rates than RedBox, with more time to watch. Visit your library\u2019s website to see what movies they have available for check-out or download, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the comfort of watching a movie in your own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Libraries also often host free weekly or monthly events that offer kid-friendly fun mixed with learning. Most libraries offer an event calendar online; while you\u2019re reviewing the movie options, check out the event calendar for some educational fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-virtual-museum-tour\"><strong>Virtual Museum Tour<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Who says you can\u2019t experience world-renowned museums right from your living room? No one should, anymore. This is one area technology has really improved, in the form of virtual tours. From <a href=\"http:\/\/mentalfloss.com\/article\/75809\/12-world-class-museums-you-can-visit-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paris\u2019 Louvre to The Smithsonian<\/a>, major museums have put a lot of time and effort into giving you a great online experience. Learn about famous paintings, study well-known statues, and expand your mind with engaging lessons in art history. Afterward, you may find yourself sipping lattes and discussing the tragedy of Van Gogh\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dinner-and-a-movie\"><strong>Dinner and a Movie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Movies at the theater are getting more and more expensive &#8211; unless you know the work-arounds. There are two approaches you can take to lower the cost of seeing the latest blockbuster. One, go during matinee hours (earlier in the day); tickets are usually around half the price. Two, consider getting the package deal. Many theaters now offer monthly subscriptions that just two regular-priced tickets a month would cover. If you\u2019re a big movie buff, option two is definitely the choice to make. Save even more by eating prior to the movie so you\u2019re not tempted to grab the overpriced popcorn and snacks at the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-local-festival\"><strong>Local Festival<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One pastime that\u2019s a favorite for many is your local festival. Depending on when you take your staycation, there are dozens of festivals that take place in cities across the country. And you don\u2019t have to go digging into the bowels of Facebook to find festivals in your area. Just use free websites like <a href=\"https:\/\/festivalnet.com\/\">Festival.com<\/a>\u00a0to search for upcoming events in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s not just festivals you can attend. Pop-up markets, food truck Friday\u2019s, free concerts in the park &#8211; these are events that can fill up a whole weekend with fun. Just do a quick online search for \u201cthings to do in [city name]\u201d to find your city\u2019s current events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-great-outdoors\"><strong>The Great Outdoors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reconnecting with nature is not just a \u201chippie\u201d mentality. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/scientific-benefits-of-nature-outdoors-2016-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Many studies show<\/a><sup> <\/sup>that a walk through the woods has a positive impact on our well-being. But you don\u2019t have to go to the woods or just walk in order to immerse yourself in nature. Biking trails, fishing lakes, campgrounds, and swimming holes all offer a unique, cheap way to get outside and soak up your happy. Pack a cooler with food and drinks for a day trip &#8211; and don\u2019t forget the camera!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-at-home-splurges\"><strong>Stay-at-Home Splurges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because you don\u2019t have the money for a big trip doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t have a few bucks to splurge on your staycation. Your time off is supposed to be about doing something for you and your family, right? Go to a concert, cheer on your favorite minor or major league team at the game, or spend a day at the spa. Small luxuries can be a reality if you set a budget and plan it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nWhatever you do on your staycation &#8211; make the most of it by getting creative! Plan it the same way you would an away vacation, and you\u2019re sure to blow off the steam you need to avoid burning out. Have fun!
