When I first heard the word “staycation,” a portmanteau of “stay” and “vacation” that describes a vacation light on traveling and the pocketbook, here’s what came to mind:

Grandma lounging in the kiddie pool in the front yard, donning one of those plastic bathing caps with the plastic daisy. Junior sitting cross-legged on the porch, drenched in sweat and trying desperately to keep up with a melting ice cream cone. Mom and Dad washing the car and cleaning out the garage because — as we all know – vacation time spent at home inevitably turns into days of chores we never got around to during spring cleaning.

Bor-ing, right? That is, unless you enjoy helping Granny with her sunscreen in those hard-to-reach places.
