When it comes to summer vacations, with the decline in our economy, many people have opted to have a staycation – staying home instead of travelling for holidays. Due to the decrease in travelling, people still need to keep their kids entertained which is why many folks are opting to spend their money by adding recreational features to their homes such as installing a pool such as the Intex above ground swimming pool.

Not only do the kids still get to enjoy water sports but the whole family will save money by staying close to home. Choose day trips to different tourist attractions near your home and opt to take a picnic lunch rather than spending food at expensive restaurants along the way. Not only will you probably be eating healthier but you can be spontaneous where you decide to stop, depending on the views. You could stop at a park along the way or may even at a beach that you pass. Staying home while on vacation does not need to mean boring…you will be surprised at what awaits you to discover right near your home!
