Okay I'm bored in the house, and I'm in the house bored. Bored in a house and I'm in the house bored -Tyga

Thank you Tyga for making us laugh and providing us some entertainment during the start of COVID and the height of TikTok. Of course, I made a TikTok video singing this, don’t you dare judge. Go ahead and follow me on TikTok, I’ll follow ya back when I figure out how to work the damn thing.

IDEAS THE WHOLE FAMILY WILL LOVE

We decided to postpone our Hawaii family vacation this year because it just wasn’t worth risking it all for a few days in the sun. We decided to create an EPIC SUMMER STAYCATION here in good ol’ Indianapolis!
Here are a few things you can do that the whole family will enjoy and create those wonderful memories to cherish forever.

Go Thrifting - Yes! Visit a store that you always wanted to check out and find something unique. We found some cool books for the kids and some old school record albums.

Dinner + A Sunset - Enjoy your favorite takeout or try a new restaurant takeout as you watch the sunset and enjoy each other’s company. We enjoyed takeout from Cooper’s Hawk.

Venture Out Into Nature - Enjoy your favorite park or walking trail and bust a move. Get those endorphins going! We love walking the canal.

Enjoy A Movie - Watch one of your family’s favorite movies or watch something you never seen before. We watched Hamilton and it was great!

Game Night - You can’t forget to play some games and have bragging rights. Pull out the board games, deal those cards or plug up that gaming system. We played UNO and Kayin whooped are butts.

Water Fun - Is there a thing of Summer vacation without water? I don’t think so. If you have to run through a water hose, make it memorable. We purchased a family size pool from Amazon to enjoy and let’s just say it wasn’t so family size. That didn’t stop us from having fun and the kids loved it.

Relaxing - R&R is a must with any vacation. A small disclaimer: we did deep clean the house one day on vacation because it was needed. Also, a clean space helps me relax. After all that cleaning we were able to relax and lay out on the hammock and soak up the sun!

Enjoy Your Favorite Foods - We made a trip to the store to get everyone’s favorite. I threw in my favorites: Jose Cuervo Margarita, Table Water Crackers, Gouda Cheese, and some Rose! Reg made us some Gouda cheeseburgers, brats and veggies on the grill!

Our goal was to enjoy our space and city with fresh eyes as if we were on vacation in a different city. We had a great time and made some great memories for sure! What would you add to your staycation?
