There’s a lot to be said about simplicity and there’s nothing more simple than a getaway staycation or day trip, and they’re usually way less expensive, and a lot less stressful. Another positive thing about a staycation is you can have a lot of those for the price of one overnight and extended vacation. For a staycation, all you often need is some comfortable shoes and a day’s worth of energy. If you’re wanting a few ideas for staycations near Austin, here are a few options.
Lunch and a Movie
Treat yourself and that significant other or just a close group of friends and go enjoy a fancy lunch, take in a movie in a real theatre instead of a Netflix on the couch, and when the movie’s over, go to your favorite coffee shop. A perfect day of relaxation with your friends.
