Staycation

Staycation is the buzzword this season. Since transportation costs are getting so ridiculous taking a mini vacation within 100 miles of home has become a "staycation." We used to call it a Sunday drive.

So where do you find places to go? Here are places to look for ideas: your local library, the internet, your local book seller, the chamber of commerce, the local and/or state historic society, the newspaper, the convention and visitor's bureau, the state park system, the national park system, recommendations from friends and co-workers and the local parks and recreation department.

So where are you taking your staycation this summer?
