Vacations are one of life’s best pleasures, but with the COVID-19 spreading and the Delta variant on the rise, you may have some trouble with your vacation. Have all the fun with ways less hassle by trying one of these staycation ideas.
Visit a nearby national park
Our national parks are treasures. With over 400 of them, there’s bound to be something for everyone. There’s plenty of hiking, but most national parks have other things to do as well, including museums, performances of historical events, guided star tours, wildlife spotting, and swimming. Many parks are wheelchair accessible.
Go backyard glamping
Glamping is like camping but better — you’re outdoors but with all the comforts and amenities of a hotel. You can pay to go on a glamping destination vacation or just set up your own in your backyard. Set up a tent, fill it with pillows, cozy blankets, comfortable chairs, bean bags. Get takeout at your favorite restaurant and enjoy it together. Bonus: Unlike camping, there are clean bathrooms nearby.
Host a neighborhood dance party
Dancing with others is fun and good for you. But going into crowded dance clubs probably isn’t at the top of your to-do list right now. Thankfully, all you need for your own dance party is an outdoor speaker and a flat spot for dancing. String up some lights, fill a couple of coolers with drinks, and invite all your neighbors.
