Weekend Staycation
This past weekend the family and I went to Calgary for a weekend staycation. My oldest was in a cheer competition, so why not take the opportunity and stay for the weekend?
Here are just a few quick phone snapshots from this weekend. A bit of randomness from much fun, food, laughter and shopping!
How often do you take little staycations?

Nothing better!
So sweet! The cheer competition sounds like real fun! 🙂
It was! We have one more competition left in the season, it’ll be a nice relief and sad at the same time. I find them really fun, so much excitement in the air!
I could so use a staycation right now…after this incredibly long winter and a March break w a kid in a cast…
Oh no! 🙁
How fun! and what great pics!
How cute! I love the tiaras!
Thanks Amber, they picked those out at the mall. Looks like they won’t be leaving their heads for a long time! lol
honestly ,we haven’t ever really done one, but i would love it. maybe we should add that to our list for the summer 🙂
Staycations are fun! My daughter and I actually had a little one this past week-end!
That does look like fun! I don’t remember the last time I had a staycation!
staycations!!1 i just had mine too. lovely photos!
Looked like you had good fun I like the photos 🙂
This sounds like fun. I’d love to visit with my little boy.
We had an awesome weekend, getaways are the best. You should!
We haven’t done staycations in a while as most of the time we go overseas for vacations.
We do that a lot too, nicer weather is more than a car ride away. lol
It looks like you had such fun. I haven’d done a stay-cation before but it looks like it should be something worth looking into.
Oh definitely!
I rarely get to take staycations but I want to do one in our area soon!
Sometimes just a couple days away is a nice refresher!
It’s awesome to just catch a break ones in a while and do this. It seems as if you all have a great time.
Nice photos !
Thank you, we did!
It looks like you had a lot of fun. The last time I had a “Staycation” was when I took my oldest back to school shopping at a mall about a half an hour from where we live. That was a couple of years ago. We stayed at a hotel close to the mall and spent the weekend shopping and relaxing.
That is nice! Perhaps a good excuse for some retail therapy of your own!
😉
Sometimes it’s so nice to get away, even if you don’t have to travel far to get there. It looks like your family had some great fun!
So true Angela!
Oh how much fun! All those pictures look like you had a great time!!! The picture of all the little cheerleaders is darling!
Thanks Kelsey!
🙂
I need one badly!!! Just a getaway somewhere!
And I’m jealous of where you live – so much to do locally!!
Sounds like a great time. We had a staycation instead of a vacation 2 years back. It was a lot of fun.
A great time for a re-do!
🙂
Oh how fun, looks like a lovely place to visit even when it’s not warm out. I love a little staycation, those are turning out to be my favorite vacations of all!
I agree Dawn, different surroundings even though we needed jackets! lol
Looks like you had a great time, great way to save money buy staying local!
I agree!
Sometimes stay cations are the best vacations!! 🙂
Much less packing involved too!
😉
We love to take staycations. There are lots of neat places to visit in our state.
Great to hear!!
Not often enough! Love the pictures!
Thanks April!
Oh So stinking cute! She is adorable!
I seriously need a staycation. Life is too crazy.
We try to take staycations as much as we can, it’s great that you made the most of your weekend. She looks adorb by the way.
We did a stay cation the last few summers. It was really neat exploring our city and our state! Totally recommend it too!
YAY!!
I love staycations! I mean, I am close to Disney, so we do them often. Your time looks like it was fantastic!
Ahhh, I wish!!!
How fun.. sure looks like you guys had a blast.. We take staycations a lot, we are about 40 minutes from Downtown Disney and we head over to Kissimmee every few months and spend a weekend.. we just love to get away and don’t take forever to get there…
Oh that would be so nice!!
NOT often enough. In the summer we do frequent boating outings, but in the winter we haven’t done anything. Looks like you all had a blast!!
It’s hard to travel local in the Winter here, I just hate driving those Winter roads!
That looks like a lot of fun. we hardly ever go on vacation, but I booked us one night in a historic hotel at West Point half an hour away from here for this weekend. I have been wanting to check it out for years, and they had a $99 deal. So off we go. Can’t wait.
Awesome!!
It has been a while since we had any mini-vacation. So looking forward to summer and RVing.
Me too, me too!!!
We love taking little staycations. They are way cheaper than a large one but still allow us away time!
Very true!
That’s the perfect idea!
Haven’t taken one in awhile, but when I can I like to escape to Atlantic City, it’s like a mini-Vegas without the plane ride for me! 🙂
Nice!
I used to love stay cations in Chicago! Not so much in Vegas…
I don’t do a lot of stay-cations 🙁 I need to do more! Looks like you had fun 🙂
I love staycations! So much fun and more affordable.
Your pictures are fantastic! We love exploring our own town.
Great shots! I haven’t been on a staycation in such a long time!
Calgary is really such a pretty city. I bet you had a fun time.
Great photos, Tammi! The photo of the girls relaxing on the bed…looks so comfy!!
Calgary is a great place. We did the same thing as our children played soccer and baseball, all over the province. We always took extra time to be able to explore the area
They are the best, you dont have to spend so much time traveling to enjoy.
Staycations can be so much more relaxing than real vacations. 😀
We try to take staycations as well. It’s a great way to explore the area that surrounds you!
We love staycations – making the most of home and our town. Looks like you had a blast!
