How to create a memorable Staycation

During the warm months, your home should be your cool, comfortable castle. Allow yourself to live in just comfort — right in your own home. You deserve it.

While summer travel can be fun, a staycation lets you treat yourself like royalty. Take a few days off, step away from everyday chaos, and enjoy activities waiting at home.

• Watch a movie marathon — Settle into the couch, pop popcorn, and stream a favorite series or film. Converting a cool living room into a home theater can be half the fun.
• Play a board game — Channel your inner vintage child. Roll the dice, pass Go, and introduce kids to classics beyond video games.
• Invite friends — The more, the merrier when your home is cool and comfortable. Pick a theme, keep it simple or go big — and set the thermostat to account for extra body heat before guests arrive.
• Print your digital photos — Don’t let smartphone memories die a digital death. Print at home, use a lab, or assemble a memory book.
• Stage a photo shoot — Create a special shoot with clothing, backgrounds, or filters to capture the staycation.
• Try a new recipe — Build-your-own pizza night or taco night can get the whole family involved.
• Get delivery from a new restaurant — Be adventurous with a local spot you haven’t tried yet.

Sweating because your home is too hot is not a fun staycation activity.

Make sure your cooling system is ready before the staycation starts — a quick WeaveAire checkup can keep comfort from becoming the missing guest.
