Wichita, Ks was founded 150 years ago this year. Celebrate Wichita with a staycation and supporting local. Yes, we’re in a pandemic BUT Birthdays such as this are not meant to be postponed!
Your end summer staycation in Wichita can be relaxing and fun with some planning. Here are a few tips:
- Disconnect from work. Many have been working from home due to COVID-19 implemented restrictions. You are going to need to give yourself a break from emails and phone calls.If you’re still working from home and are taking a staycation, be sure you’re off work mode during your vacation time.
- Tour your town. Visit the local visitor’s center find where you want to start. Learn more about the town’s history from local museums or botanical gardens for wide open spaces. Check out some shops while strolling the streets after grabbing a scoop of ice cream along the way. While you’re at it grab some local food to go to bring back home.
- Backyard Camping. If your ideal vacation includes camping, try camping out in the backyard during your staycation. Set up a tent and enjoy burgers on the grill, s’mores by the fire, grab some local craft beer, and stargazing from your backyard. If the weather isn’t cooperating, because Kansas, set up camp inside your home.
- Splurge a little and change the scenery. Buy some new plants or local ICT wall decor to make your home feel like a getaway. Hang up some wind chimes on your patio. Stay at a local hotel for a night. GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE and practice social distancing. Keep on those face coverings where needed.
- Plan an at-home or hotel spa day. Pack your bags with your comfy robe and slippers and pamper yourself by Choosing 1 of the 3 Wichita accommodations I able able to book for you that I have listed down below. Your day could include a soak in the tub, a facial, manicure or an eye mask while you nap. Stay at a hotel and let someone else cook for your as you order food to the room. Enjoy the day and relax.
Travel is not really about your physical location. To travel, is about thinking differently about your own surroundings and being challenged by them, which is why I am encouraging people to get lost in their own town.
