Daycation: Daytrips in northeastern US
There's "YAYcation" where you say to heck with the economy and go on the trip anyway. On the opposite end, there's a "staycation" where you pretend your yard is somewhere interesting. Then there's Scott's devious suggestion, "liecation."
Here's an option that can be inexpensive but gives the sense of travel. Go on a daycation. In other words--a day trip. This is where you find out what's within an hour or two from your house and you head there with a sense of exploration and fun leading the way. Look on a map to get ideas.
If you're living in the northeastern part of the U.S., this article on daycations lists several stellar options for places to go on a day trip. Click on each of the options, and you'll find a longer article about that specific suggestion.
Here are options I've done and also recommend:
- Take a free tour of Yale's campus.
- Head to Shelter Island, one of the small islands off Long Island.
- Go to Old Sturbridge Village, a living history museum in Massachusetts. Quite superb. I've been here a few times.
- Visit Manhattan specifically for the Museum of Natural History
On Father's Day we took a daycation to Zanesville, Ohio to eat ice-cream and ride on a historic sternwheeler. This was actually a half-daycation because it only took half the day.
