A "staycation" is defined by Wikipedia , as "a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home and relaxes at home or takes a day trip from their home to area attractions".
With the rising price of gasoline and increasingly troubled economic times, this has become the new way of enjoying your time off. At first blink it may seem like a let down, but gone are the days when you just jumped on a plane for a quick getaway. We are tending to stay closer to home. However, for those of us lucky enough to live in Colorado, there is plenty to see and do in our own backyards!
