Need staycation ideas? Not sure you can afford to take a vacation this year? A great way to relax and enjoy time off is by planning a staycation! A staycation is a vacation in your hometown. Not only will it help you save money, but it gives you a chance to visit local attractions and explore your area. If you have the time and budget, you can expand it past your hometown to your county or entire state!
