Ideas for your Next Staycation from Kimberly Rose Johnson

If you're anything like me you are looking for local things to do this summer. I am fortunate to live less than two hours from the coast, the mountains, multiple lakes, parks, and two large cites.
Since I don't know anything about where you live, I'm going to use my area to make suggestions. I hope you are able to adapt a couple suggestions to where you live.

• Go for a picnic at a lake or even in your own backyard.
• Take a bike ride alone paved trails or go or a mountain bike ride.
• If you have a swimming pool, plan a day outdoors. Suggested ideas: swim, read, yoga, play water games, picnic. The key is to make it special. 
• Take a walk through a park you don't often go to.
• Go hiking.
• Have a socially distanced ice cream party, then hang a sheet on the side of your house and watch a movie outdoors--I have a scene like this in A Waltz for Amber.
• A picture scavenger hunt. Come up with a list of things to find, then take a picture of the item when you find it. The first one to have a picture of everything wins.
• A campout in your backyard. 

What other ideas can you come up with? Have you taken a staycation? What did you do?

I mentioned my book A Waltz for Amber which gave me an idea to offer you a special deal. I've complied this book along with the rest of the books in the series into one collection titled Melodies of Love. 

For a very limited time you can pick it up for only 99¢. 

It's only available at Amazon.
