More staycation ideas
Filed Under: kids, recreation, entertaining
Earlier this week, I wrote a post with some ideas for planning every family staycation. As I was browsing the Internet today, I found that lots of other people have great ideas, too, but that the most unique ones came from Better Homes and Gardens.
BHG put together a gallery of their 25 best staycation ideas. Some of their more unique activities include:
- turning your home into a spa -- Make some spa-quality products at home and let the pampering begin: for your face, your hands and body, and your feet.
- going on a family bike ride
- flying a kite
- having a field day for the kids -- Or, create your own summer camp.
- organizing a block party -- You coulc choose to do this in a Mexican or Hawaiian theme, some of BHG's other party ideas.

My husband and I decided to order an inflatable kayak!!!! We are waiting for it to arrive. That will be the highlight of our staycation. My friends and I are documenting our staycations and have crafty projects too for staycations at http://wearestorytellers.typepad.com
