According to Gallup, July is the most popular month to take a vacation. Whether you decide to take a trip or choose the increasingly popular “staycation” route, your home during summer vacation plays an important role while you retreat, relax and recharge.

Staycation “Vacation spent at home or nearby” (merriam-webster.com)

There are various reasons why one may choose a staycation over a vacation. Some of the benefits of a staycation include more flexibility for a variety of activities, less of a hassle to plan, and of course overall savings on  lodging and airline tickets/gas. For many, a staycation is more relaxing and provides the unique opportunity to “be a tourist” in their own community or state.
