Last year I wrote this post about the perfect staycation! Most things on the staycation itinerary can be quarantine friendly, but I wanted to write one specifically for quarantine and social distancing. You guys seemed to really like the first staycation post, so I figured it would be a good time to write another one! I have broken it up into: morning, afternoon, and evening with different things you could safely do every part of the day during your Staycation. Don't forget to bring and wear a mask!
MORNING:
1. Wake up and smell the coffee // Well, how about a mask wearing coffee run to that place you never quite get too because it is somewhat out of the way. Support a local coffee shop, grab a cup (and a doughnut!), and start your staycation on the right foot.
2. Have a slow morning // Make a special breakfast, read, needlepoint, just do something that you love. Definitely treat yourself to a long hot shower or bath to feel completely indulgent.
3. If you are into it, maybe a round of Golf // I actually enjoy golf, but I am NOT good. I never play, and a staycation sounds like the perfect time to play! If golf is not your thing, maybe a nice long walk, tennis, pickle ball or not because its your staycation, and you do not have to exercise!
AFTERNOON:
1. Beach time // This could be in the morning depending on where you live, but I love a good beach day during a summer vacation. Most places are making it easy to social distance at a beach, just bring your mask, and set up your chairs/towels far from anyone else. If you can't get to a beach, then have a "beach" day in the back yard!
2. Visit a Winery // Most wineries I have seen are only doing outdoor seating, and have the tables very spread out. You can also make a reservation at most, so you know that you have a distant table when you show up. This is one of my favorite summer activities. Do a tasting, and have a cheese board!
3. Be a tourist in your own city // This is done obviously only if it is safe/with masks in your city, but it could be fun to explore a new area or new place/business etc that you have never gone to within your own city! If you can safely do this, it might make the staycation feel more like a little vacay!
EVENING
1. Dinner time // There are so many options for supporting your favorite restaurant, and keeping yourself and others safe. You could make a reservation at your favorite place, or a new place to try, for outdoor seating. You could also do take-out, and recreate the restaurant vibe at home.
2. Dessert // My vote would be to go to your favorite ice cream shop because ice cream and vacation are synonymous! It could also be fun to take out dessert (or to-go cocktails!), and find a park or beach to enjoy them at.
3. Sunset // End your staycation day with a sunset. You could bring your take dinner/dessert/cocktails for a picnic to watch the sunset. I love watching the sun set over wate,r whether thats an ocean or a lake. There's just something beautiful about the colors of the sun over the water. Definitely gives me summer vacation feels!
