Summer is right around the corner. This is the time as a
family you decide what am I going to do for a vacation? With the price of gas
soaring, a staycation is a wonderful way to spend time enjoying your nearby
attractions. Staycations is staying at home during your vacation instead of
traveling to a pleasure destination. Use this time as a family to appreciate all
that Lexington and nearby towns have to offer for your entertainment. Don’t
forget to use your local parks that offer tennis, playgrounds, picnic area plus
much more giving your family an active afternoon of fun. You will be surprised
at how much fun as a family you can have for free by being creative.
