Our Staycation

staycation- a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home and relaxes at home or takes day trips from their home to area attractions.

Our Staycation included a quick trip to Moab on Friday afternoon, hiking at arches, swimming at the hotel, shopping the shops of "downtown Moab" and a quick stop at the "hole n' the rock"- not to be confused with the hole in the rock. The kids had a great time, it only took a little over 24 hours and it didn't cost a lot of dough so it was a win win in my mind. I highly recommend staycations to anyone, especially if you live in a cool place like we do.

Sounds like you guys had fun! We're ready to go on another cruise as soon as possible just not sure how soon the bank account will be ready.

LOVE stay-cations! We've been wanting to do one in Moab lately -we'll have to hit it soon. Did you do the hole n the rock tour? kinda weird in my opinion. Hey how do you change your settings to list your family/friends blogs in order of most recent blogger?

Cute blog! Staycation - what a good idea. I think we might have to try that sometime.

Isn't it weird how we have to make an effort to visit places that are close to us....or when your kids get older and really busy, you have to plan nights to sit home and enjoy one-another. We love Moab but it is usually spent mountain biking, we want to visit more hikes up there and the "sand run" by Arches.
