Take a look around our town -
People from around the country and around the world will be visiting
this summer as they attend the Des Moines Metro Opera, RAGBRAI and the
National Balloon Classic. Indianola is a great place to visit, and
a great place for a Stay-cation!
So turn off the phones, unplug the electronics and discover all the
affordable fun available here in our own backyard!
What's a Staycation?
A stay-at-home vacation that is spent
enjoying all that home and one's home environs have to offer.
Tips to Make Your Stay-Cation a Success
Schedule start and end dates.
Just as you would with a vacation, schedule a beginning
and ending for your staycation to make it feel like an official
vacation. Otherwise, it runs the risk of feeling like just another
string of nights in front of the tube.
Pack that time with activities.
Plan a daily activity, and make sure
something takes you out of the house — for fun — every day.
Declare a "choratorium."
That means no chores! Don't make the bed, vacuum, clean out the closets,
pull weeds — nothing. You're on vacation!
Take staycation photos or videos,
just as you would if you went away from home for your vacation.
Read a book you've been meaning to.
Check availability at the
Indianola Public Library.
