Staycation

What to do in Waltham

Ever have a staycation? It's when you go on vacation, but stay home. It is my personal favourite way to take time off. Setting aside a week or a long weekend to VACATION is healthy, rejuvenating, brain boosting and builds social bonds.

Blowing off a chance to vacation is a sure fire way to burn yourself out. Staycations can be a perfect way to decompress, have an adventure, try new experiences, share time with friends and family, and everything else that taking a vacation means to you.

What I like most about a staycation is exploring locally. Here in Waltham, we have SO MANY opportunities to test our boundaries and open our minds. From morning to night, we can fill our days with staycation fun, without spending a lot of money or going too far.

I would like to invite you to take a virtual staycation with me, and travel around Waltham. Together we can try out new food at local restaurants, visit touristy destinations, hit some shopping, delve into nightlife, and chill out. Come see Waltham with fresh eyes.

Today, check out some books to bring along. Tomorrow, we feast!
